TITLE:

SECUNIA ADVISORY ID:

VERIFY ADVISORY:
http://secunia.com/advisories/31386/

DESCRIPTION:
A vulnerability has been reported in Sun Solaris, which can be
exploited by malicious people to compromise a user's system.

The vulnerability is caused due to an unspecified error in the
snoop(1M) network utility related to displaying SMB traffic. This can
be exploited to execute arbitrary commands as the "snoop" user when a
specially crafted packet is captured or read via the "-i" option.

Successful exploitation requires that "snoop" is used without the
"-o" command line option.

NOTE: If "snoop" is invoked as "root", the effective user is changed
to "nobody".

The vulnerability is reported in Solaris 8, 9, and 10 for both the
SPARC and x86 platforms.
