Detail

Product: Solaris 10 Operating System

The inetd(1M) daemon will log debug messages to the log file /var/tmp/inetd.log if this file exists. A local unprivileged user may be able to create a link from this log file to another file on the system, allowing the user to modify that file. This could result in a Denial of Service (DoS).
