Security readout for executives and security teams
CVE-2004-1394 is a local privilege issue in Sun Solaris 8 and 9. If a system uses custom rights profiles and an invalid exec_attr entry is present, a local user assigned that profile may run profile commands with more privilege than intended. Exposure appears limited to legacy Sun Solaris 8 and 9 systems using custom rights profiles. Systems without local untrusted users or without custom rights profiles are less likely exposed, based on the bundle. Treat as a legacy Unix privilege-management risk. It is not evidenced as remotely exploitable or actively exploited in the bundle, but affected Solaris hosts can carry high operational value and weak patch posture. Mitigation focus: Check Sun vendor guidance and listed advisories for supported fixes or required patches.; Audit custom rights profiles and remove invalid exec_attr entries.; Restrict assignment of custom rights profiles to trusted administrators only..
