DESCRIPTION:
Multiple vulnerabilities have been reported in Solaris, which can be
exploited by malicious, local users to cause a DoS (Denial of
Service) and gain escalated privileges and by malicious people to
disclose system information, cause a DoS (Denial of Service), and
compromise a vulnerable system.

1) An unspecified error in the CDE Calendar Manager Service daemon
can be exploited to potentially execute arbitrary code via specially
crafted RPC packets.

2) An unspecified error in the FTP server can be exploited to cause a
DoS.

3) An unspecified error in a Ethernet driver can be exploited to
disclose certain system information.

4) An unspecified error in the kernel NFS component can be exploited
to cause a DoS.

5) An unspecified error in the kernel can be exploited by local users
to cause a DoS.

6) A second unspecified error in the kernel can be exploited by local
users to cause a DoS.

7) An unspecified error in the Standard C Library (libc) can be
exploited by local users to gain escalated privileges.

8) An unspecified error in the Fault Manager daemon can be exploited
by local users to gain escalated privileges.

9) An unspecified error in the XScreenSaver component can be
exploited by local users to gain escalated privileges.

SOLUTION:
Apply patches (please see the vendor's advisory for details).

PROVIDED AND/OR DISCOVERED BY:
It is currently unclear who reported these vulnerabilities as the
Oracle Critical Patch Update for January 2011 only provides a bundled
list of credits. This section will be updated when/if the original
reporter provides more information.
