The security issue is caused due to the "undo.Z" backout file being stored with insecure permissions in /var/sadm/pkg//save// for certain packages. This can be exploited to extract the file, which may contain password hashes of the root and other users. SOLUTION: Apply patch 119254-80. Please contact the vendor for more information.
