VULHUB ™

The X11 server that ships with Sun Microsystems' Solaris, Xsun, contains a locally exploitable buffer overflow vulnerability. The condition is present when the value of the HOME environment variable is of excessive length (more than 1050 bytes long). An attacker may exploit this vulnerability to execute arbitrary code with effective group 'root' privileges.
