Sun SunOS 4.1 through 4.1.3 allows local attackers to gain root access via insecure permissions on files and directories such as crash.
rdist in various UNIX systems uses popen to execute sendmail, which allows local users to gain root privileges by modifying the IFS (Internal Field Separator) variable.
Vulnerability in /bin/mail in SunOS 4.1.1 and earlier allows local users to gain root privileges via certain command line arguments.
Vulnerability in integer multiplication emulation code on SPARC architectures for SunOS 4.1 through 4.1.2 allows local users to gain root access or cause a denial of service (crash).
/usr/5bin/su in SunOS 4.1.3 and earlier uses a search path that includes the current working directory (.), which allows local users to gain privileges via Trojan horse programs.
cmdtool in OpenWindows 3.0 and XView 3.0 in SunOS 4.1.4 and earlier allows attackers with physical access to the system to display unechoed characters (such as those from password prompts) via the L2/AGAIN key.
rpc.pwdauthd in SunOS 4.1.1 and earlier does not properly prevent remote access to the daemon, which allows remote attackers to obtain sensitive system information.
Vulnerability in in.telnetd in SunOS 4.1.1 and earlier allows local users to gain root privileges.
TIOCCONS in SunOS 4.1.1 does not properly check the permissions of a user who tries to redirect console output and input, which could allow a local user to gain privileges.

lpr on SunOS 4.1.1, BSD 4.3, A/UX 2.0.1, and other BSD-based operating systems allows local users to create or overwrite arbitrary files via a symlink attack that is triggered after invoking lpr 1000 times.
NFS on SunOS 4.1 through 4.1.2 ignores the high order 16 bits in a 32 bit UID, which allows a local user to gain root access if the lower 16 bits are set to 0, as fixed by the NFS jumbo patch upgrade.
Malicious option settings in UDP packets could force a reboot in SunOS 4.1.3 systems.
Extra long export lists over 256 characters in some mount daemons allows NFS directories to be mounted by anyone.
Denial of service by sending forged ICMP unreachable packets.
The SunView (SunTools) selectionsvc facility allows remote users to read files.
NFS cache poisoning.
In SunOS, NFS file handles could be guessed, giving unauthorized access to the exported file system.
