What is CVE-2003-1033?

The SAP DB Development Tools (versions 7.x) include instdbmsrv and instlserver programs that improperly trust the user-defined INSTROOT environment variable. This can be exploited by local users to gain unauthorized root privileges through a manipulated INSTROOT pointing to a malicious dbmsrv or lserver executable. Such vulnerabilities pose significant risks to the integrity and security of the systems utilizing these tools.
