CVE reference:	CVE-2003-1067

Description: Sun has reported some vulnerabilities in Solaris, which can be exploited by malicious, local users to escalate their privileges on a vulnerable system. The vulnerabilities are caused due to boundary errors in the "dbm_open()", and "dbminit()" database functions. These can be exploited to cause buffer overflows, which may allow execution of arbitrary code with "root" privileges. Solution: Apply patches. -- SPARC Platform -- Solaris 2.6: http://sunsolve.sun.com/pub-cgi/findPatch.pl?patchId=105210&rev=47 http://sunsolve.sun.com/pub-cgi/findPatch.pl?patchId=105377&rev=06 http://sunsolve.sun.com/pub-cgi/findPatch.pl?patchId=105401&rev=43 Solaris 7: http://sunsolve.sun.com/pub-cgi/findPatch.pl?patchId=106541&rev=22 http://sunsolve.sun.com/pub-cgi/findPatch.pl?patchId=106942&rev=26 http://sunsolve.sun.com/pub-cgi/findPatch.pl?patchId=106949&rev=03 Solaris 8: http://sunsolve.sun.com/pub-cgi/findPatch.pl?patchId=108827&rev=24 http://sunsolve.sun.com/pub-cgi/findPatch.pl?patchId=108993&rev=16 http://sunsolve.sun.com/pub-cgi/findPatch.pl?patchId=109152&rev=02 Solaris 9: http://sunsolve.sun.com/pub-cgi/findPatch.pl?patchId=112874&rev=01 http://sunsolve.sun.com/pub-cgi/findPatch.pl?patchId=112922&rev=02 http://sunsolve.sun.com/pub-cgi/findPatch.pl?patchId=113319&rev=10 http://sunsolve.sun.com/pub-cgi/findPatch.pl?patchId=114569&rev=02 http://sunsolve.sun.com/pub-cgi/findPatch.pl?patchId=114571&rev=01 -- x86 Platform -- Solaris 2.6: http://sunsolve.sun.com/pub-cgi/findPatch.pl?patchId=105211&rev=49 http://sunsolve.sun.com/pub-cgi/findPatch.pl?patchId=105402&rev=43 Solaris 7: http://sunsolve.sun.com/pub-cgi/findPatch.pl?patchId=106542&rev=22 http://sunsolve.sun.com/pub-cgi/findPatch.pl?patchId=106943&rev=26 Solaris 8: http://sunsolve.sun.com/pub-cgi/findPatch.pl?patchId=108828&rev=25 http://sunsolve.sun.com/pub-cgi/findPatch.pl?patchId=108994&rev=16 http://sunsolve.sun.com/pub-cgi/findPatch.pl?patchId=114617&rev=01 Solaris 9: http://sunsolve.sun.com/pub-cgi/findPatch.pl?patchId=113719&rev=03 http://sunsolve.sun.com/pub-cgi/findPatch.pl?patchId=114570&rev=01 http://sunsolve.sun.com/pub-cgi/findPatch.pl?patchId=114715&rev=01 Changelog: 2005-02-10: Added CVE reference.
