CRITICAL:
Less critical

IMPACT:
Security Bypass, Manipulation of data, Exposure of sensitive
information, Privilege escalation

WHERE:

DESCRIPTION:
A security issue has been reported in Sun Solaris, which can be
exploited by malicious, local users to bypass certain security
restrictions.

The security issue is caused due to errors within the permission
checks of a default Solaris 10 installation. This can be exploited to
create raw sockets on Solaris link aggregations, which allows
unrestricted access to network packets.

and SPARC platform.

SOLUTION:
Apply patches.

Sun Solaris 10 for x86:
Apply patch 118855-19 or later.
