Re: Solaris patchadd(1) (3) symlink vulnerabilty
From: Darren Moffat <Darren.Moffat () eng sun com>

Since patchadd is a script the bug it pretty easy to fix, Sun does intend
to release patches but it would have helped if we had been given notification
of the bug first, I don't believe we were.
So here is a set of diffs to patchadd for those that really can't wait.
Please note these are my personal diffs they do not reflect the official
opinion of those in Sun responsible for the patchadd command and may not
reflect the fix that is eventually released. Do NOT under any circumstances
log any support calls with Sun regarding these diffs, they are intended
only to show the true nature of the fix and to illustrate to those concerned
how it could be fixed. If you decide to apply these diffs to your production
servers it is enterly your risk.
