Stack-based buffer overflow in ld.so.1 in Sun Solaris 8, 9, and 10 allows local users to execute arbitrary code via large precision padding values in a format string specifier in the format parameter of the doprf function. NOTE: this issue normally does not cross privilege boundaries, except in cases of external introduction of malicious message files, or if it is leveraged with other vulnerabilities such as CVE-2006-6494.

Security readout for executives and security teams

CVE-2006-6495 is a Solaris dynamic linker flaw that can let a local user crash or run code through malformed formatting data. The public record says it usually does not cross privilege boundaries, but risk increases if malicious message files are introduced or it is chained with another flaw. Exposure is limited to systems still running Sun Solaris 8, 9, or 10, including legacy vendor appliances. The provided affected-product metadata is incomplete, so confirm against vendor advisories and platform inventories. Treat as a legacy-platform risk item, not an internet-scale emergency. Prioritize if Solaris 8-10 remains in production, especially on shared systems or appliances that cannot be easily patched. Mitigation focus: Inventory Solaris 8, 9, and 10 hosts and dependent appliances.; Review Sun/Oracle and Avaya advisories for applicable patches or workarounds.; Prioritize shared systems where local users can access shells..
