Solaris is the variant of the UNIX Operating System distributed by Sun Microsystems. Solaris is designed as a scalable operating system for the Intel x86 and Sun Sparc platforms, and operates on machines varying from desktop to enterprise server.
A problem with the handling of a long string of characters by the -F option makes it possible for a local user to gain elevated privileges.
