Buffer overflow in Solaris chkperm command allows local users to gain root access via a long -n option.

FTP server in Solaris 8 and earlier allows local and remote attackers to cause a core dump in the root directory, possibly with world-readable permissions, by providing a valid username with an invalid password followed by a CWD ~ command, which could release sensitive information such as shadowed passwords, or fill the disk partition.

ICMP messages to broadcast addresses are allowed, allowing for a Smurf attack that can cause a denial of service.

Directory traversal vulnerability in Sun Kodak Color Management System (KCMS) library service daemon (kcms_server) allows remote attackers to read arbitrary files via the KCS_OPEN_PROFILE procedure.

DNS cache poisoning via BIND, by predictable query IDs.

Buffer overflow in the syslog daemon for Solaris 2.6 through 9 allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (syslogd crash) and possibly execute arbitrary code via long syslog UDP packets.

Directory traversal vulnerabilities in multiple FTP clients on UNIX systems allow remote malicious FTP servers to create or overwrite files as the client user via filenames containing /absolute/path or .. (dot dot) sequences.

Unknown vulnerability in the tcsetattr function for Sun Solaris for SPARC 2.6, 7, and 8 allows local users to cause a denial of service (system hang).

Unknown vulnerability in UDP RPC for Solaris 2.5.1 through 9 for SPARC, and 2.5.1 through 8 for x86, allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (memory consumption) via certain arguments in RPC calls that cause large amounts of memory to be allocated.

Denial of service in Solaris TCP streams driver via a malicious connection that causes the server to panic as a result of recursive calls to mutex_enter.

cachefsd in Solaris 2.6, 7, and 8 allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (crash) via an invalid procedure call in an RPC request.

Unknown vulnerability in the FTP server (in.ftpd) for Solaris 2.6 through 9 allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (temporary FTP server hang), which affects other active mode FTP clients.

The Telnet daemon (in.telnetd) for Solaris 2.6 through 9 allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (CPU consumption by infinite loop).

Unknown vulnerability in rpcbind for Solaris 2.6 through 9 allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (rpcbind crash).

Sun's ftpd daemon can be subjected to a denial of service.

Unknown vulnerability in the System Serial Console terminal in Solaris 2.5.1, 2.6, and 7 allows local users to monitor keystrokes and possibly steal sensitive information.

Buffer overflow in mailx in Solaris 8 and earlier allows a local attacker to gain additional privileges via a long '-F' command line option.

Buffer overflow in SGI IRIX mailx program.

Buffer overflow in dtmail in Solaris 2.6 and 7 allows local users to gain privileges via the MAIL environment variable.

The dynamic linker in Solaris allows a local user to create arbitrary files via the LD_PROFILE environmental variable and a symlink attack.

Multiple buffer overflows in uucp for Sun Solaris 2.6, 7, 8, and 9 allow local users to execute arbitrary code as the uucp user.

Unknown vulnerability in the sysinfo system call for Solaris for SPARC 2.6 through 9, and Solaris for x86 2.6, 7, and 8, allows local users to read kernel memory.

CDE screen lock program (screenlock) on Solaris 2.6 does not properly lock an unprivileged user's console session when the host is an NIS+ client, which allows others with physical access to login with any string.

In Sun Solaris and SunOS, man and catman contain vulnerabilities that allow overwriting arbitrary files.

sdtcm_convert in Solaris 2.6 allows a local user to overwrite sensitive files via a symlink attack.

VERITAS File System (VxFS) 3.3.3, 3.4, and 3.5 before MP1 Rolling Patch 02 for Sun Solaris 2.5.1 through 9 does not properly implement inheritance of default ACLs in certain circumstances related to the characteristics of a directory inode, which allows local users to bypass intended file permissions by accessing a file on a VxFS filesystem.

Webmail in Sun ONE Messaging Server 6.1 and iPlanet Messaging Server 5.2 before 5.2hf2.02 allows remote attackers to obtain unspecified "access" to e-mail via a crafted e-mail message, related to a "session hijacking" issue, a different vulnerability than CVE-2005-2022 and CVE-2006-5486.

Cross-site scripting (XSS) vulnerability in Webmail in Sun ONE Messaging Server 6.1 and iPlanet Messaging Server 5.2 before 5.2hf2.02, when Internet Explorer is used, allows remote attackers to inject arbitrary web script or HTML via a crafted e-mail message, a different vulnerability than CVE-2005-2022 and CVE-2006-5486.

Sun Cluster 2.2 through 3.2 for Oracle Parallel Server / Real Application Clusters (OPS/RAC) allows local users to cause a denial of service (cluster node panic or abort) by launching a daemon listening on a TCP port that would otherwise be used by the Distributed Lock Manager (DLM), possibly involving this daemon responding in a manner that spoofs a cluster reconfiguration.

The Xsun server for Sun Solaris 2.6 through 9, when running in Direct Graphics Access (DGA) mode, allows local users to cause a denial of service (Xsun crash) or to create or overwrite arbitrary files on the system, probably via a symlink attack on temporary server files.

Unspecified vulnerability in the XView library (libxview.so) in Solaris 2.5 to 10 allows local users to corrupt files via unknown vectors related to the handling of the clipboard selection while an XView application exits.
