Title: Solaris kcms_configure
Severity: MODERATE
Description:
The binary kcms_configure, part of the Kodak Color Management System package shipped with OpenWindows (and ultimately, Solaris) is vulnerable to a local buffer overflow. The buffer which the contents of the environment variable NETPATH are copied into has a predetermined length, which if exceeded can corrupt the stack and cause aribtrary code hidden inside of the oversized buffer to be executed. kcms_configure is installed setuid root and exploitation will result in a local root compromise.
Affected Products:
- Sun Solaris 7.0
- Sun Solaris 7.0_x86
