CVSS v3.1
Official Description
Multiple buffer overflows in rogue on NetBSD 1.6 and earlier, FreeBSD 4.6, and possibly other operating systems, allows local users to gain "games" group privileges via malformed entries in a game save file.
Technical Analysis
CVE-2002-1192 requires local access, meaning attackers must already have a foothold on the target system.
Exploitation requires some privileges, which limits the exposure to scenarios where an attacker has already gained initial access.
A proof-of-concept (PoC) exploit exists for CVE-2002-1192. While not yet confirmed in active campaigns, the availability of PoC code increases exploitation risk substantially.
