Title: Sun Solaris LDAP RBAC Local Privilege Escalation Vulnerability
Severity: HIGH
Description:
Sun Solaris supports Lightweight Directory Access Protocol (LDAP) and Role Based Access Control (RBAC).
Sun Solaris is affected by a local privilege escalation vulnerability when LDAP and RBAC are implemented together on an affected computer. This problem is likely due to a design or configuration error.
The problem presents itself, as a computer configured in this way will allow unprivileged local users to execute certain commands with superuser privileges.
The information currently available is insufficient to provide a more detailed technical description. This BID will be updated as more details are released.
A local attacker may exploit this issue to gain superuser privileges on an affected computer.
Affected Products:
- Sun Solaris 8
- Sun Solaris 8_x86
- Sun Solaris 9
- Sun Solaris 9_x86
