Base vector

AV:L/AC:L/Au:N/C:C/I:C/A:C

Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions: SunOS version 5.8

Description: A buffer overflow issue exists in the cb reset function within the System Service Processor (SSP) package. This allows a local user to execute arbitrary code by providing a long argument to the vulnerable function.

Recommendations: For SunOS version 5.8, consider restricting access to the cb reset function in the SSP package to prevent potential exploitation until a fix is available. As a temporary workaround, avoid using long arguments with the cb reset function to minimize the risk of triggering the buffer overflow.
