DESCRIPTION:
A security issue has been reported in Solaris, which can be exploited
by malicious, local users to disclose sensitive information.
The security issue is caused due to the "undo.Z" backout file being
stored with insecure permissions in
/var/sadm/pkg/<pkgname>/save/<patchid>/ for certain packages. This
can be exploited to extract the file, which may contain password
hashes of the root and other users.
SOLUTION:
Apply patch 119254-80. Please contact the vendor for more
information.
PROVIDED AND/OR DISCOVERED BY:
Michael Rutkowski, Duer Advanced Technology and Aerospace via
