In Solaris 2.2 and 2.3, when fsck fails on startup, it allows a local user with physical access to obtain root access.

The permissions for the /dev/audio device on Solaris 2.2 and earlier, and SunOS 4.1.x, allow any local user to read from the device, which could be used by an attacker to monitor conversations happening near a machine that has a microphone.

/usr/5bin/su in SunOS 4.1.3 and earlier uses a search path that includes the current working directory (.), which allows local users to gain privileges via Trojan horse programs.

Sun SunOS 4.1 through 4.1.3 allows local attackers to gain root access via insecure permissions on files and directories such as crash.

NFS on SunOS 4.1 through 4.1.2 ignores the high order 16 bits in a 32 bit UID, which allows a local user to gain root access if the lower 16 bits are set to 0, as fixed by the NFS jumbo patch upgrade.

Denial of service by sending forged ICMP unreachable packets.

Vulnerability in integer multiplication emulation code on SPARC architectures for SunOS 4.1 through 4.1.2 allows local users to gain root access or cause a denial of service (crash).

The portmapper may act as a proxy and redirect service requests from an attacker, making the request appear to come from the local host, possibly bypassing authentication that would otherwise have taken place. For example, NFS file systems could be ...

SunOS 4.1.2 and earlier allows local users to gain privileges via "LD_*" environmental variables to certain dynamically linked setuid or setgid programs such as (1) login, (2) su, or (3) sendmail, that change the real and effective user ids to the sa...

In SunOS, NFS file handles could be guessed, giving unauthorized access to the exported file system.
