A race condition in the at command for Solaris 2.6 through 9 allows local users to delete arbitrary files via the -r argument with .. (dot dot) sequences in the job name, then modifying the directory structure after at checks permissions to delete the file and before the deletion actually takes place.

Security readout for executives and security teams

CVE-2003-1073 is an old Solaris flaw in the at scheduling command. A local user could exploit a timing issue to delete files they should not be able to delete. This is mainly a risk for legacy Solaris systems with local shell or application-user access. Exposure is most likely on legacy Solaris 2.6, 7, 8, or 9 hosts where untrusted or low-privileged local users can run at. Internet-facing exposure is not indicated by the sources. Treat this as a legacy-platform hygiene issue unless affected Solaris hosts support critical workloads or shared-user access. Prioritize discovery, patch verification, and retirement planning over emergency response. Mitigation focus: Identify Solaris 2.6 through 9 systems still in service.; Review Sun Alert 50161 or vendor guidance for applicable fixes.; Restrict local shell access to trusted users only..
