What is CVE-2013-5373?

The RemoteClient component in IBM Rational ClearCase versions 8.0.0.03 through 8.0.0.07 and 8.0.1 is susceptible to a privilege escalation issue due to world-writable permissions set on the rcleartool script. This vulnerability can be exploited by local users who can append arbitrary commands, allowing them to gain elevated privileges within the system. Proper permission settings are crucial to mitigating this risk and ensuring system integrity.
