Kodak Color Management System (KCMS) on Solaris allows a local user to write to arbitrary files and gain root access.

Buffer overflow in admintool in Solaris 2.5 through 8 allows local users to gain root privileges via long arguments to (1) the -d command line option, or (2) the PRODVERS argument in the .cdtoc file.

admintool in Solaris allows a local user to write to arbitrary files and gain root access.

Buffer overflow in the libauth library in Solaris allows local users to gain additional privileges, possibly root access.

Buffer overflow in Solaris getopt in libc allows local users to gain root privileges via a long argv[0].

Buffer overflow in exrecover in Solaris 2.6 and earlier possibly allows local users to gain privileges via a long command line argument.

Buffer overflow in /usr/bin/cu in Solaris 2.8 and earlier, and possibly other operating systems, allows local users to gain privileges by executing cu with a long program name (arg0).

Solaris rpcbind can be exploited to overwrite arbitrary files and gain root access.

The passwd command in Solaris can be subjected to a denial of service.

Buffer overflow in Sun's ping program can give root access to local users.

vold in Solaris 2.x allows local users to gain root access.

Solaris sysdef command allows local users to read kernel memory, potentially leading to root privileges.

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

Oversized ICMP ping packets can result in a denial of service, aka Ping o' Death.

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

DNS cache poisoning via BIND, by predictable query IDs.

Denial of Service vulnerability in BIND 8 Releases via maliciously formatted DNS messages.

Unknown vulnerability in NFS on Solaris 2.5.1 through Solaris 9 allows an NFS client to cause a denial of service by killing the lockd daemon.

Delete or create a file via rpc.statd, due to invalid information.

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

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.

Sendmail allows local users to write to a file and gain group permissions via a .forward or :include: file.

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

Buffer overflow in BNU UUCP daemon (uucpd) through long hostnames.

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.

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.

ping in Solaris 2.3 through 2.6 allows local users to cause a denial of service (crash) via a ping request to a multicast address through the loopback interface, e.g. via ping -i.

The access permissions for a UNIX domain socket are ignored in Solaris 2.x and SunOS 4.x, and other BSD-based operating systems before 4.4, which could allow local users to connect to the socket and possibly disrupt or control the operations of the program using that socket.
