NVD-CWE-OtherPublished: August 13, 2007· Updated: Jun 16, 2026
6.2
CVSS v3.1
Official Description
Multiple race conditions in the (1) Sudo monitor mode and (2) Sysjail policies in Systrace on NetBSD and OpenBSD allow local users to defeat system call interposition, and consequently bypass access control policy and auditing.
Technical Analysis
CVE-2007-4305 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-2007-4305. While not yet confirmed in active campaigns, the availability of PoC code increases exploitation risk substantially.
