Description:
Przemyslaw Frasunek has reported a vulnerability in Solaris, which can be exploited by malicious, local users to gain escalated privileges.
The vulnerability is caused due to a design error in the runtime linker (ld.so.1) when executing setuid and setgid programs. This can be exploited to execute arbitrary code from a malicious library with escalated privileges.
The vulnerability affects the following versions:
* Solaris 8 with patches 109147-31 through 109147-36 (SPARC)
* Solaris 8 with patches 109148-31 through 109148-36 (x86)
