Detailsinfo

A vulnerability classified as critical has been found in Sun Solaris 8.0 (Operating System). This affects some unknown functionality in the library libsldap of the component LDAP Naming Service. The manipulation of the argument LDAP_OPTIONS as part of a Environment Variable leads to a memory corruption vulnerability. CWE is classifying the issue as CWE-119. The product performs operations on a memory buffer, but it can read from or write to a memory location that is outside of the intended boundary of the buffer. This is going to have an impact on confidentiality, integrity, and availability. The summary by CVE is:

Buffer overflow in the LDAP naming services library (libsldap) in Sun Solaris 8 allows local users to execute arbitrary code via a long LDAP_OPTIONS environment variable to a privileged program that uses libsldap.
