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.
Buffer overflow in whodo in Solaris SunOS 5.5.1 through 5.8 allows local users to execute arbitrary code via a long (1) SOR or (2) CFIME environment variable.
Buffer overflow in Xsun in Solaris 8 and earlier allows local users to execute arbitrary commands via a long HOME environmental variable.
Buffer overflow in ypbind daemon in Solaris 5.4 through 8 allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code.
Buffer overflow in tip in Solaris 8 and earlier allows local users to execute arbitrary commands via a long HOME environmental variable.
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).
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 arp command in Solaris 7 and earlier allows local users to execute arbitrary commands via a long -f parameter.
Buffer overflow in ufsrestore in Solaris 8 and earlier allows local users to gain root privileges via a long pathname.
Buffer overflow in Solaris chkperm command allows local users to gain root access via a long -n option.
The CDE dtspcd daemon allows local users to execute arbitrary commands via a symlink attack.
The ToolTalk ttsession daemon uses weak RPC authentication, which allows a remote attacker to execute commands.
Buffer overflow in the AddSuLog function of the CDE dtaction utility allows local users to gain root privileges via a long user name.
The BSD profil system call allows a local user to modify the internal data space of a program via profiling and execve.
The Red Hat Linux su program does not log failed password guesses if the su process is killed before it times out, which allows local attackers to conduct brute force password guessing.
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.
SunOS/Solaris FTP clients can be forced to execute arbitrary commands from a malicious FTP server.
Multiple buffer overflows in how dtmail handles attachments allows a remote attacker to execute commands.
Buffer overflow in the libauth library in Solaris allows local users to gain additional privileges, possibly root access.
Power management (Powermanagement) on Solaris 2.4 through 2.6 does not start the xlock process until after the sys-suspend has completed, which allows an attacker with physical access to input characters to the last active application from the keyboard for a short period after the system is restoring, which could lead to increased privileges.
Buffer overflows in Sun libnsl allow root access.
Solaris ufsrestore buffer overflow.
Solaris rpcbind can be exploited to overwrite arbitrary files and gain root access.
FTP servers can allow an attacker to connect to arbitrary ports on machines other than the FTP client, aka FTP bounce.
niscachemgr for Solaris NIS+ allows attackers to add malicious NIS+ servers.
Solaris sysdef command allows local users to read kernel memory, potentially leading to root privileges.
In SunOS or Solaris, a remote user could connect from an FTP server's data port to an rlogin server on a host that trusts the FTP server, allowing remote command execution.
Buffer overflow in SunOS/Solaris ps command.
Buffer overflow in eeprom in Solaris 2.5.1 and earlier allows local users to gain root privileges via a long command line argument.
