Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions Common Desktop Environment version 1.6
Description A stack-based buffer overflow in the ParseColors function in libXm can be exploited by local low-privileged users via the dtprintinfo setuid binary to escalate their privileges to root on Solaris 10 systems. This issue only affects products that are no longer supported by the maintainer.
