Description

The NFS server in Sun Solaris 10, and OpenSolaris before snv_111, does not properly implement the AUTH_NONE (aka sec=none) security mode in combination with other security modes, which allows remote attackers to bypass intended access restrictions and read or modify files, as demonstrated by a combination of the AUTH_NONE and AUTH_SYS security modes.

Affected products

Sun Opensolaris: through snv_110; snv_01, snv_02, snv_03, snv_04, snv_05, snv_06 (+103)
Sun Solaris: 10
