It has been reported that Sun Solaris may be prone to a vulnerability due to an unspecified erroneous condition resulting from the 'conv_fix' command invoked by conv_lpd(1M) script. This issue will reportedly permit a local attacker to overwrite or create any file on the system. Successful exploitation of this issue may allow a local attacker to gain elevated privileges leading to full compromise of a vulnerable system. The attacker may also cause a denial of service condition on the system.
