Title: Sun Microsystems Solaris FTP Client Debug Mode Password Display Vulnerability
Severity: LOW
Description:
Solaris is the UNIX operating system variant distributed by Sun Microsystems.
A problem with the FTP client distributed with Solaris may reveal sensitive information to unauthorized users.
It has been reported that the FTP client distributed with Solaris does not sufficiently guard potentially sensitive information. Because of this, it may be possible for an attacker to observe sensitive information.
The problem is in the display of the FTP password. When the FTP client is executed in debug mode, it displays the FTP password entered in plaintext. A casual observer may be able to see this password, which could result in unauthorized access to the user's account.
Affected Products:
- Sun Solaris 2.6
- Sun Solaris 2.6_x86
- Sun Solaris 7.0
- Sun Solaris 7.0_x86
- Sun Solaris 8
- Sun Solaris 8_x86
