The kernel in Solaris 2.6, 7, 8, and 9 allows local users to gain privileges by loading arbitrary loadable kernel modules (LKM), possibly involving the modload function.

Directory traversal vulnerability in the vfs_getvfssw function in Solaris 2.6, 7, 8, and 9 allows local users to load arbitrary kernel modules via crafted (1) mount or (2) sysfs system calls. NOTE: this might be the same issue as CVE-2004-1767, but there are insufficient details to be sure.
