iDefense Security Advisory 05.10.07 - Local exploitation of a design error vulnerability in the srsexec binary optionally included in Sun Microsystems Inc., Solaris 10 allows attackers to gain access to sensitive information, such as the root password hash. The vulnerability specifically exists because of a failure to drop permissions or check the permissions on the file specified for the target file. If a user specified verify only mode (-v) as well as debug mode (-d), and specified a protected file such as /etc/shadow, srsexec will display the first line of /etc/shadow in the debug messages. iDefense has confirmed the existence of this vulnerability in Solaris 10 with the SUNWsrspx package installed.
