The Java Plug-in in Java SE Development Kit (JDK) and Java Runtime Environment (JRE) 6 Update 12, 11, and 10 allows user-assisted remote attackers to cause a trusted applet to run in an older JRE version, which can be used to exploit vulnerabilities in that older version, aka CR 6706490.
Integer signedness error in Java SE Development Kit (JDK) and Java Runtime Environment (JRE) 5.0 Update 17 and earlier, and 6 Update 12 and earlier, allows remote attackers to access files or execute arbitrary code via crafted glyph descriptions in a Type1 font, which bypasses a signed comparison and triggers a buffer overflow.
Unspecified vulnerability in Kerberos Incremental Propagation in Solaris 10 and OpenSolaris snv01 through snv110 allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (loss of incremental propagation requests to slave KDC servers) via unknown vectors related to the master Key Distribution Center (KDC) server.
Sun Java System Directory Proxy Server in Sun Java System Directory Server Enterprise Edition 6.0 through 6.3, when a JDBC data source is used, does not properly handle (1) a long value in an ADD or (2) long string attributes, which allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (JDBC backend outage) via crafted LDAP requests.
Unspecified vulnerability in Sun Java System Directory Server 5.2 p6 and earlier, and Enterprise Edition 5, allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (daemon crash) via crafted LDAP requests.
Unspecified vulnerability in the process (aka proc) filesystem in Sun OpenSolaris snv85 through snv100 allows local users to gain privileges via vectors related to the contract filesystem.
The kernel in Sun Solaris 10 and 11 snv101b, and OpenSolaris before snv108, allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (system crash) via a crafted IPv6 packet, related to an "insufficient validation security vulnerability," as demonstrated by SunOSipv6.c.
Unspecified vulnerability in the kernel in OpenSolaris snv100 through snv102 on the Sun UltraSPARC T2 and T2+ sun4v platforms allows local users to cause a denial of service (panic) via unknown vectors.
Unspecified vulnerability in the root/boot archive tool in Sun OpenSolaris has unknown impact and local attack vectors, related to a "Temporary file vulnerability," aka Bug ID 6653455.
Unspecified vulnerability in convlpd in Sun OpenSolaris has unknown impact and local attack vectors, related to improper handling of temporary files, aka Bug ID 6655641.
Unspecified vulnerability in txzonemgr in Sun OpenSolaris has unknown impact and local attack vectors, related to a "Temporary file vulnerability," aka Bug ID 6653462.
tun in IP Tunnel in Solaris 10 and OpenSolaris snv01 through snv76 allows local users to cause a denial of service (panic) and possibly execute arbitrary code via a crafted SIOCGTUNPARAM IOCTL request, which triggers a NULL pointer dereference.
An input validation vulnerability exists in the VBoxDrv.sys driver of Sun xVM VirtualBox which allows attackers to locally execute arbitrary code.
X509TrustManager in (1) Java Secure Socket Extension (JSSE) in SDK and JRE 1.4.0 through 1.4.001, (2) JSSE before 1.0.3, (3) Java Plug-in SDK and JRE 1.3.0 through 1.4.1, and (4) Java Web Start 1.0 through 1.2 incorrectly calls the isClientTrusted method when determining server trust, which results in improper validation of digital certificate and allows remote attackers to (1) falsely authenticate peers for SSL or (2) incorrectly validate signed JAR files.
Sun Java Runtime Environment (JRE) and SDK 1.4.001 and earlier allows untrusted applets to access certain information within trusted applets, which allows attackers to bypass the restrictions of the Java security model.
The FTP client for Solaris 2.6, 7, and 8 with the debug (-d) flag enabled displays the user password on the screen during login.
Buffer overflow in utmpupdate for Solaris 2.6 through 9 allows local users to gain root privileges, as identified by Sun BugID 4705891, a different vulnerability than CVE-2003-1068.
Unknown vulnerability in newtask for Solaris 9 allows local users to gain root privileges.
Unknown vulnerability in sendmail for Solaris 7, 8, and 9 allows local users to cause a denial of service (unknown impact) and possibly gain privileges via certain constructs in a .forward file.
Buffer overflow in utmpupdate for Solaris 2.6 through 9 allows local users to gain root privileges, as identified by Sun BugID 4659277, a different vulnerability than CVE-2003-1082.
Multiple buffer overflows in the (1) dbmopen function, as used in ndbm and dbm, and the (2) dbminit function in Solaris 2.6 through 9 allow local users to gain root privileges via long arguments to Xsun or other programs that use these functions.
The patches (1) 105693-13, (2) 108800-02, (3) 105694-13, and (4) 108801-02 for cachefs on Solaris 2.6 and 7 overwrite the inetd.conf file, which may silently reenable services and allow remote attackers to bypass the intended security policy.
Unknown vulnerability in the libraries for the PGX32 frame buffer in Solaris 2.5.1 and 2.6 through 9 allows local users to gain root access.
Buffer overflow in the nssldap.so.1 library for Sun Solaris 8 and 9 may allow local users to gain root access via a long hostname in an LDAP lookup.
The ed editor for Sun Solaris 2.6, 7, and 8 allows local users to create or overwrite arbitrary files via a symlink attack on temporary files.
Unknown vulnerability in CDE Print Viewer (dtprintinfo) for Sun Solaris 2.6 through 9 may allow local users to execute arbitrary code.
Unknown vulnerability in the ls-F builtin function in tcsh on Solaris 8 allows local users to create or delete files as other users, and gain privileges.
Unknown multiple vulnerabilities in (1) lpstat and (2) the libprint library in Solaris 2.6 through 9 may allow attackers to execute arbitrary code or read or write arbitrary files.
The loadClass method of the sun.applet.AppletClassLoader class in the Java Virtual Machine (JVM) in Sun SDK and JRE 1.4.103 and earlier allows remote attackers to bypass sandbox restrictions and execute arbitrary code via a loaded class name that contains "/" (slash) instead of "." (dot) characters, which bypasses a call to the Security Manager's checkPackageAccess method.
Stack-based buffer overflow in the runtime linker, ld.so.1, on Solaris 2.6 through 9 allows local users to gain root privileges via a long LDPRELOAD environment variable.
