CVE-2005-0666 describes an unknown vulnerability in PaX versions from September 2003 to 2.2 before 2005.03.05, specifically impacting the SEGMEXEC or RANDEXEC features and VMA mirroring. This flaw could allow local users, and potentially remote attackers, to bypass security restrictions and execute arbitrary code. With a CVSS score of 4.6 (AV:L/AC:L/Au:N/C:P/I:P/A:P), it indicates a low attack complexity and local access requirement, but with potential for full confidentiality, integrity, and availability impact. While not listed in KEV or Hot Lists, an exploit (EDB-876) exists for privilege escalation, though there is no evidence of active exploitation, Metasploit/Nuclei modules, or significant community discussion or media coverage.
