Description: Sun has reported some unspecified vulnerabilities in Solaris, which can be exploited by malicious, local users to escalate their privileges on a vulnerable system. The vulnerabilities reportedly exist in the "lpstat()" command and the libprint library. These can be exploited to escalate privileges to "root" and to view, create, and overwrite arbitrary files on a vulnerable system.
