Description Oleh Kravchenko 2009-05-08 07:35:51 UTC

A security vulnerability in pam-krb5 allowing overwrite and chown of arbitrary files via Solaris su was discovered by Derek Chan and reported by Steven Luo on 2009-01-29. Subsequent code auditing for behavior in setuid applications uncovered another, more general and more serious bug that could result in privilege escalation.
