Description:
Sun has acknowledged two vulnerabilities in Solaris, which can be exploited by malicious people to bypass certain security restrictions and conduct cross-site scripting attacks.
1) An error in the "Safe.pm" Perl module can be exploited to bypass certain compartment access controls.
2) Input passed to the "start_form()" function in the "CGI.pm" Perl module isn't properly sanitised before being returned to users. This can be exploited to execute arbitrary HTML and script code in a user's browser session in context of an affected site.
The vulnerabilities has been reported in Perl module "Safe.pm" version 2.0.7 and prior, and Perl module "CGI.pm" version 2.752 and prior.
