DESCRIPTION:
Multiple vulnerabilities have been reported in Oracle Solaris, which
can be exploited by malicious, local users to disclose potentially
sensitive information, manipulate certain data, cause a DoS (Denial
of Service), and gain escalated privileges.

1) An error within the filesystem/cachefs subcomponent can be
exploited to gain escalated privileges.

2) An error within the Utility/Umount subcomponent can be exploited
to gain escalated privileges.

Vulnerabilities #1 and #2 are reported in Oracle Solaris 9 and 10.

3) An error within the Postinstall script for the Bind package can be
exploited to gain escalated privileges.

4) An error within the Kernel/DTrace Framework subcomponent can be
exploited to cause a DoS.

This vulnerability is reported in Oracle Solaris 10 and 11.

5) An error within the Install/smpatch subcomponent can be exploited
to read, update, insert, or delete certain Solaris accessible data.

Vulnerabilities #3 and #5 are reported in Oracle Solaris 10.

6) An error within the Utility/ksh93 subcomponent can be exploited to
update, insert, or delete certain Solaris accessible data and cause a
DoS.

7) An error within the kernel can be exploited to cause a crash.

Vulnerabilities #6 and #7 are reported in Oracle Solaris 11.
