Security readout for executives and security teams

This is a legacy Solaris local privilege-escalation issue. On Solaris 2.5.1 through 8, pkgadd could install package files with root setuid or setgid permissions when pkgmap used question marks in mode, owner, or group fields. A local attacker able to influence package installation could gain higher privileges. Exposure is most likely on legacy Solaris 2.5.1 through 8 systems that still install local or third-party packages. Modern systems are not identified in the supplied sources. Treat this as a legacy-platform risk. It is not known to be actively exploited from the supplied sources, but affected systems could allow root compromise if package installation is abused. Mitigation focus: Inventory any Solaris 2.5.1 through 8 hosts still in operation.; Check Sun/Oracle advisory 45693 or current vendor guidance for fixes.; Avoid installing untrusted or unaudited packages on affected systems..
