In Sun Solaris and SunOS, man and catman contain vulnerabilities that allow overwriting arbitrary files.

Solaris ff.core allows local users to modify files.

The passwd command in Solaris can be subjected to a denial of service.

Buffer overflow in Sun's ping program can give root access to local users.

SunOS/Solaris FTP clients can be forced to execute arbitrary commands from a malicious FTP server.

Multiple buffer overflows in how dtmail handles attachments allows a remote attacker to execute commands.

Buffer overflow in the libauth library in Solaris allows local users to gain additional privileges, possibly root access.

Power management (Powermanagement) on Solaris 2.4 through 2.6 does not start the xlock process until after the sys-suspend has completed, which allows an attacker with physical access to input characters to the last active application from the keyboard for a short period after the system is restoring, which could lead to increased privileges.

libnsl in Solaris allowed an attacker to perform a denial of service of rpcbind.

Sun's ftpd daemon can be subjected to a denial of service.
