CVE-1999-1413: Sun Solaris

Medium severity, CVSS 4.6. EPSS: 0.7% chance of exploitation in the next 30 days.

Solaris 2.4 before kernel jumbo patch -35 allows set-gid programs to dump core even if the real user id is not in the set-gid group, which allows local users to overwrite or create files at higher privileges by causing a core dump, e.g. through dmesg.

Affected products

  • Sun Solaris: version 2.4 only
  • Sun Sunos: version 5.4 only
