Title: Solaris kcms Buffer Overflow Vulnerability
Severity: MODERATE
Description:
There is an unchecked sprintf() call in the versions of /usr/openwin/bin/kcms_configure shipped with solaris 2.5, 2.5.1 and 2.6. Unfortunately, kcms_configure is installed setuid root, making it possible for an attacker to overflow the buffer and have arbitrary code executed with superuser privileges. The consequence of this vulnerability being exploited is a local root compromise.
Affected Products:
- Sun Solaris 2.5.0
- Sun Solaris 2.5.0_x86
- Sun Solaris 2.5.1
- Sun Solaris 2.5.1_x86
- Sun Solaris 2.6
- Sun Solaris 2.6_x86
- Sun Solaris 7.0
- Sun Solaris 7.0_x86
