Sun Solaris PC NetLink Insecure File Handling Vulnerability

SECUNIA ADVISORY ID:

VERIFY ADVISORY:
http://secunia.com/advisories/18230/

CRITICAL:
Less critical

IMPACT:
Privilege escalation

WHERE:
Local system

SOFTWARE:
Sun Solaris PC Netlink 2.x
http://secunia.com/product/6667/

DESCRIPTION:
Two vulnerabilities have been reported in Sun Solaris PC NetLink,
which potentially can be exploited by malicious, local users to
perform certain actions with escalated privileges.

The vulnerabilities are caused due to the "/opt/lanman/sbin/slsmgr"
command, and the "/etc/init.d/slsadmin" script allowing files to be
opened insecurely. This can be exploited to write to the filesystem
with the permissions of the user running the affected
command/script.

The vulnerabilities have been reported in version 2.0 running on the
Solaris 7, 8 and 9.

SOLUTION:
Apply patches.

PC NetLink 2.0 (for Solaris 7, 8 and 9):
Apply patch 121332-01 or later, and 121209-01 or later.
