Sun Solaris Ping Local Buffer Overflow Vulnerability

A local buffer overflow in the ping utility affects Sun Solaris. This issue is due to a failure of the application to properly validate the length of user-supplied strings prior to copying them into finite process buffers.

An attacker may exploit this issue to execute arbitrary code with the privileges of the superuser; this will facilitate privilege escalation.
