Summary:The Intel editions of Sun Solaris could allow a local attacker to gain elevated privileges, caused by a vulnerability in the way user-supplied arguments are handled by syscalls. A local attacker can pass specially-crafted arguments to syscall to gain elevated privileges, which allows the attacker to gain control of arbitrary addresses in the kernel memory.
