A new vulnerability was identified in Sun Solaris, which could be exploited by local attackers to obtain elevated privileges. The problem is that local unprivileged users may be able to load their own Generic Security Service Application Program Interface (GSS-API) when a privileged GSS-API application is installed which utilizes the libgss library, which may be exploited to gain elevated privileges.
