Detailsinfo

A vulnerability was found in Sun Solaris 2.5.1/2.6/7.0/8.0/9.0 (Operating System). It has been classified as problematic. Affected is the function KCS_OPEN_PROFILE of the component Kodak Color Management System. The manipulation with an unknown input leads to a path traversal vulnerability. CWE is classifying the issue as CWE-22. The product uses external input to construct a pathname that is intended to identify a file or directory that is located underneath a restricted parent directory, but the product does not properly neutralize special elements within the pathname that can cause the pathname to resolve to a location that is outside of the restricted directory. This is going to have an impact on confidentiality. CVE summarizes:

Directory traversal vulnerability in Sun Kodak Color Management System (KCMS) library service daemon (kcms_server) allows remote attackers to read arbitrary files via the KCS_OPEN_PROFILE procedure.

The weakness was disclosed 02/07/2003 by echo as confirmed advisory (CERT.org). The advisory is shared for download at kb.cert.org. This vulnerability is traded as CVE-2003-0027. The exploitability is told to be easy. It is possible to launch the attack remotely. The exploitation doesn't require any form of authentication. Technical details and a public exploit are known. The MITRE ATT&CK project declares the attack technique as T1006.
