Sun Solaris 10 Pkgadd Incorrect Permissions Weakness

Under certain conditions, the pkgadd utility may set file or directory permissions incorrectly. Patches are available that address this weakness.

An attacker may take advantage of this issue when exploiting another vulnerability or may use it in an attack scenario to gain elevated privileges or unauthorized system access. Due to the nature of the weakness, attackers can exploit it to gain access to files and directories that would otherwise be protected by appropriate permissions.
