Re: Solaris 2.x Vulnerability [/usr/vmsys/bin/chkperm]

          systems with the FACE package installed


I tried your example on three different Solaris 2.5 machines with varying
patch levels. On all of them, after setting up the environment as
specified, running the chkperm command resulted in an error message, and no
.rhosts file was created in /usr/bin.

Was anyone able to successfully reproduce this exploit?
