Title: Sun Solaris 'autofs' Kernel Module Local Code Execution Vulnerability
Severity: HIGH
Description:
Sun Solaris is prone to a local code-execution vulnerability because of an error in the 'autofs' kernel module.
Attackers can exploit this issue to cause a denial-of-service condition. In certain circumstances, attackers may be able to execute arbitrary code with the privileges of the 'root' user. Successful exploits may completely compromise the vulnerable system.
This issue affects the following on both x86 and SPARC platforms:
Solaris 8
Solaris 9
Solaris 10
OpenSolaris based on builds snv_01 through snv_107
