SUN » Solaris : Security Vulnerabilities, CVEs, (Overflow)

Heap-based buffer overflow in w in Sun Solaris 8 through 10, and OpenSolaris before snv_124, allows local users to gain privileges via unspecified vectors.

Integer overflow in the aio_suspend function in Sun Solaris 8 through 10 and OpenSolaris, when 32-bit mode is enabled, allows local users to cause a denial of service (panic) via a large integer value in the second argument (aka nent argument).

Stack-based buffer overflow in the adm_build_path function in sadmind in Sun Solstice AdminSuite on Solaris 8 and 9 allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code via a crafted request.

Integer overflow in sadmind in Sun Solaris 8 and 9 allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code via a crafted RPC request that triggers a heap-based buffer overflow, related to improper memory allocation.

Heap-based buffer overflow in sadmind in Sun Solaris 8 and 9 allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code via a crafted RPC request, related to improper decoding of request parameters.

Integer signedness error in the ip_set_srcfilter function in the IP Multicast Filter in uts/common/inet/ip/ip_multi.c in the kernel in Sun Solaris 10 and OpenSolaris before snv_92 allows local users to execute arbitrary code in other Solaris Zones via an SIOCSIPMSFILTER IOCTL request with a large value of the imsf->imsf_numsrc field, which triggers an out-of-bounds write of kernel memory. NOTE: this was reported as an integer overflow, but the root cause involves the bypass of a signed comparison.

Multiple format string vulnerabilities in snoop on Sun Solaris 8 through 10 and OpenSolaris before snv_96, when the -o option is omitted, allow remote attackers to execute arbitrary code via format string specifiers in an SMB packet.

Multiple stack-based buffer overflows in snoop on Sun Solaris 8 through 10 and OpenSolaris before snv_96, when the -o option is omitted, allow remote attackers to execute arbitrary code via a crafted SMB packet.

Stack-based buffer overflow in the cons_options function in options.c in dhcpd in OpenBSD 4.0 through 4.2, and some other dhcpd implementations based on ISC dhcp-2, allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code or cause a denial of service (daemon crash) via a DHCP request specifying a maximum message size smaller than the minimum IP MTU.

Buffer overflow in the dtsession Common Desktop Environment (CDE) Session Manager in Sun Solaris 8, 9, and 10 allows local users to execute arbitrary code via unspecified vectors.

Stack-based buffer overflow in ld.so.1 in Sun Solaris 8, 9, and 10 allows local users to execute arbitrary code via large precision padding values in a format string specifier in the format parameter of the doprf function. NOTE: this issue normally does not cross privilege boundaries, except in cases of external introduction of malicious message files, or if it is leveraged with other vulnerabilities such as CVE-2006-6494.

Buffer overflow in the Strcmp function in the XKEYBOARD extension in X Window System X11R6.4 and earlier, as used in SCO UnixWare 7.1.3 and Sun Solaris 8 through 10, allows local users to gain privileges via a long _XKB_CHARSET environment variable value.

Buffer overflow in the format command in Solaris 8, 9, and 10 allows local users with access to format (such as the "File System Management" RBAC profile) to execute arbitrary code via unknown vectors, a different vulnerability than CVE-2006-4307.

systeminfo.c for Sun Solaris allows local users to read kernel memory via a 0 variable count argument to the sysinfo system call, which causes a -1 argument to be used by the copyout function. NOTE: this issue has been referred to as an integer overflow, but it is probably more like a signedness error or integer underflow.

Buffer overflow in newgrp in Solaris 7 through 9 allows local users to gain root privileges.

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

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.

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

Buffer overflow in utmp_update for Solaris 2.6 through 9 allows local users to gain root privileges, as identified by Sun BugID 4705891, a different vulnerability than CVE-2003-1068.

Buffer overflow in utmp_update for Solaris 2.6 through 9 allows local users to gain root privileges, as identified by Sun BugID 4659277, a different vulnerability than CVE-2003-1082.

Buffer overflow in the syslog daemon for Solaris 2.6 through 9 allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (syslogd crash) and possibly execute arbitrary code via long syslog UDP packets.

Buffer overflow in the nss_ldap.so.1 library for Sun Solaris 8 and 9 may allow local users to gain root access via a long hostname in an LDAP lookup.

The prescan function in Sendmail 8.12.9 allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code via buffer overflow attacks, as demonstrated using the parseaddr function in parseaddr.c.

Stack-based buffer overflow in the runtime linker, ld.so.1, on Solaris 2.6 through 9 allows local users to gain root privileges via a long LD_PRELOAD environment variable.

Off-by-one error in the fb_realpath() function, as derived from the realpath function in BSD, may allow attackers to execute arbitrary code, as demonstrated in wu-ftpd 2.5.0 through 2.6.2 via commands that cause pathnames of length MAXPATHLEN+1 to trigger a buffer overflow, including (1) STOR, (2) RETR, (3) APPE, (4) DELE, (5) MKD, (6) RMD, (7) STOU, or (8) RNTO.
