Comments (Legacy)
Jones> Suggest description: "...allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code via the functions (1) syserr and (2) error." Christey> Correction: this is a RARP (Reverse Address Resolution Protocol) server. A colleague of mine with access to Solaris source has noted that the affected syslog calls can not be fed user-supplied data, at least for Solaris; if so, then this is not a vulnerability. Baker> I think you leave the description as it specifies how the attacker is able to execute arbitrary commands.
