Solaris is the freely available Unix operating system distributed by Sun Microsystems. It may be possible for a local user to gain elevated privileges. When Xsun is executed, and an excessively long argument is supplied to the -co flag, a heap overflow occurs. This problem could allow a local user to supply a maliciously formatted string with the -co option that could result in the execution of arbitrary code, and elevated privileges.
