I dont doubt that on a network managed by you this is not a problem.
 But, I *guarantee* you that, even now, there are no shortage of Solaris
boxes that can be owned by exploiting this vulnerability.  4 or 5 years
ago this vulnerability was a guaranteed pound sign.

It's news worthy.  This vulnerability has been privately exploited
for
at least 7 years.  Most Solaris machines that have sadmin open
are
exploitable.
It's a shame to see an excellent vulnerability such as this finally
be made public.

What's news here?  I mean setting "-S 2" for sadmind (if sadmind
is
required) has been on the "tighten up" list (for me at least) for
just
as long.
