Description:
Sun has acknowledged a vulnerability in Sun Solaris, which potentially can be exploited by malicious users to gain escalated privileges.
The vulnerability is caused due to an unspecified error within the Role Based Access Control (RBAC) system, which can be exploited to gain root privileges.
Successful exploitation requires that the attacker knows the password for certain affected roles.
The vulnerability is reported in Sun Solaris 8 for both the SPARC and x86 architectures. Sun Solaris 9 and 10 are not affected.
