2.1
CVSS v3.1
Official Description
Oracle Solaris 8, 9, and 10 stores back-out patch files (undo.Z) unencrypted with world-readable permissions under /var/sadm/pkg/, which allows local users to obtain password hashes and conduct brute force password guessing attacks.
Technical Analysis
CVE-2011-0412 requires local access, meaning attackers must already have a foothold on the target system.
Exploitation requires some privileges, which limits the exposure to scenarios where an attacker has already gained initial access.
