This vulnerability was named CVE-2014-6497. There is no available exploit. It is suggested to upgrade the affected component.

Detailsinfo

A vulnerability, which was classified as problematic, was found in Oracle Solaris 11 (Operating System). This affects an unknown code. 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 availability. The summary by CVE is:

Unspecified vulnerability in Oracle Sun Solaris 11 allows local users to affect availability via unknown vectors related to Kernel.

The weakness was presented 10/15/2014 with Oracle as Oracle Critical Patch Update Advisory - October 2014 as confirmed advisory (Website). The advisory is shared at oracle.com. This vulnerability is uniquely identified as CVE-2014-6497 since 09/17/2014. The exploitability is told to be easy. An attack has to be approached locally.
