UNIX Domain Socket Access Permissions Vulnerability

CVE-1999-1402 · LOW Severity

AV:L/AC:L/AU:N/C:N/I:P/A:N

The access permissions for a UNIX domain socket are ignored in Solaris 2.x and SunOS 4.x, and other BSD-based operating systems before 4.4, which could allow local users to connect to the socket and possibly disrupt or control the operations of the program using that socket.
