Re: automountd and Solaris 2.3

Sun just released a Security Bulletin announcing a patch for the
automountd on Solaris 2.3 systems.

The hole allows a non-root user to gain root, so the Bulletin
says, implying that this isn't exploitable from a remote machine
-- but there are no details, of course.  

Anyone have more of an idea as to how much of a threat this
actually is?

This bulletin is in error.  Sun is in the process of issuing a corrected
version.  Stay tuned.  Film at 11.
