If a solaris machine is running snoop in verbose mode, it may be possible to compromise its security remotely by exploiting a buffer overflow in snoop. The problem is a buffer with a predefined length of 1024 that can be overflowed in the print_domain_name function. The priviliges granted to arbitrary code which could be executed would be those of the user running snoop, root.
