Security readout for executives and security teams
This is an old local privilege escalation issue in Solaris Solstice AdminSuite 2.1 and 2.2. A person who already has local access could gain higher privileges through the Database Manager save option because it runs with setgid bin privileges. Exposure is most likely limited to legacy Solaris systems still running Solstice AdminSuite 2.1 or 2.2 and allowing local user access. Internet-facing exposure is not indicated by the sources. Do not treat this as a broad internet emergency. Prioritize it for any remaining legacy Solaris environments, especially shared or multi-user systems, because successful abuse could raise a local user’s privileges. Mitigation focus: Inventory legacy Solaris systems for Solstice AdminSuite 2.1 or 2.2.; Check archival Sun or Oracle guidance for the named advisory before changing production systems.; Remove or disable obsolete AdminSuite components where they are no longer required..
