A vulnerability has been identified in Sun Solaris, which could be exploited by attackers to bypass security restrictions. This issue is caused by an unspecified error within system calls in the Kernel, which may allow two unprivileged local user processes to establish a covert communication channel bypassing system restrictions such as the multi-level security policy found in Solaris Trusted Extensions or the isolation policy implemented using zones or chroot.
