SUN » Solaris : Security Vulnerabilities, CVEs, Published In 2004

Directory traversal vulnerability in the vfs_getvfssw function in Solaris 2.6, 7, 8, and 9 allows local users to load arbitrary kernel modules via crafted (1) mount or (2) sysfs system calls. NOTE: this might be the same issue as CVE-2004-1767, but there are insufficient details to be sure.

Sun Solaris 7 through 9, when Basic Security Module (BSM) is enabled and the SUNWscpu package has been removed as a result of security hardening, disables mail alerts from the audit_warn script, which might allow attackers to escape detection.

The kernel in Solaris 2.6, 7, 8, and 9 allows local users to gain privileges by loading arbitrary loadable kernel modules (LKM), possibly involving the modload function.

The pfexec function for Sun Solaris 8 and 9 does not properly handle when a custom profile contains an invalid entry in the exec_attr database, which may allow local users with custom rights profiles to execute profile commands with additional privileges.

Unknown vulnerability in the tcsetattr function for Sun Solaris for SPARC 2.6, 7, and 8 allows local users to cause a denial of service (system hang).

Multiple buffer overflows in uucp for Sun Solaris 2.6, 7, 8, and 9 allow local users to execute arbitrary code as the uucp user.

The patches (1) 114332-08 and (2) 114929-06 for Sun Solaris 9 disable the auditing functionality of the Basic Security Module (BSM), which allows attackers to avoid having their activity logged.

The Secure Shell (SSH) Daemon (SSHD) in Sun Solaris 9 does not properly log IP addresses when SSHD is configured with the ListenAddress as 0.0.0.0, which makes it easier for remote attackers to hide the source of their activities.

Unknown vulnerability in the sendfilev function in Sun Solaris 8 and 9 allows local users to cause a denial of service (system panic) via unknown vectors.

Unknown vulnerability in the TCP/IP stack for Sun Solaris 8 and 9 allows local users to cause a denial of service (system panic) via unknown vectors.

The Solaris Management Console (SMC) in Sun Solaris 8 and 9 generates different 404 error messages when a file does not exist versus when a file exists but is otherwise inaccessible, which could allow remote attackers to obtain sensitive information in conjunction with a directory traversal (..) attack.

Unknown vulnerability in LDAP on Sun Solaris 8 and 9, when using Role Based Access Control (RBAC), allows local users to execute certain commands with additional privileges.

Buffer overflow in the ping daemon of Sun Solaris 7 through 9 may allow local users to execute arbitrary code.

Unknown vulnerability in the rwho daemon (in.rwhod) for Solaris 7 through 9 allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code.

Unknown vulnerability in in.named on Solaris 8 allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (process crash).

The Sun Solaris Volume Manager (SVM) on Solaris 9 allows local users to cause a denial of service (kernel panic) via a malformed probe request to the SVM.

Integer overflow in the TIFFFetchStripThing function in tif_dirread.c for libtiff 3.6.1 allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code via a TIFF file with the STRIPOFFSETS flag and a large number of strips, which causes a zero byte buffer to be allocated and leads to a heap-based buffer overflow.

Unknown vulnerability in the rwho daemon (rwhod) before 0.17, on little endian architectures, allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (application crash).

mod_digest_apple for Apache 1.3.31 and 1.3.32 on Mac OS X Server does not properly verify the nonce of a client response, which allows remote attackers to replay credentials.

Format string vulnerability in CDE Mailer (dtmail) on Solaris 8 and 9 allows local users to gain privileges via format strings in the argv[0] value.

Buffer overflow in uustat in Sun Solaris 8 and 9 allows local users to execute arbitrary code via a long -S command line argument.

Unknown vulnerability in the Basic Security Module (BSM), when configured to audit either the Administrative (ad) or the System-Wide Administration (as) audit class in Solaris 7, 8, and 9, allows local users to cause a denial of service (kernel panic).

Solaris 9, when configured as a Kerberos client with patch 112908-12 or 115168-03 and using pam_krb5 as an "auth" module with the debug feature enabled, records passwords in plaintext, which could allow local users to gain other user's passwords by reading log files.

Multiple buffer overflows in krb5_aname_to_localname for MIT Kerberos 5 (krb5) 1.3.3 and earlier allow remote attackers to execute arbitrary code as root.

Multiple unknown vulnerabilities in Linux kernel 2.6 allow local users to gain privileges or access kernel memory, a different set of vulnerabilities than those identified in CVE-2004-0495, as found by the Sparse source code checking tool.
