Vulnetix · Advisory published May 5, 2002
Sun's NFS/RPC cachefs daemon (cachefsd) is shipped and installed by default with Sun Solaris 2.5.1, 2.6, 7, and 8 (SPARC and Intel architectures). Cachefsd caches requests for operations on remote file systems mounted via the use of NFS protocol. A remotely exploitable heap overflow exists in cachefsd that could permit a remote attacker to execute arbitrary code with the privileges of the cachefsd, typically root.
