CVE-2008-4556

Status: ModifiedHigh (10)—💥 Exploit

Stack-based buffer overflow in the adm_build_path function in sadmind in Sun Solstice AdminSuite on Solaris 8 and 9 allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code via a crafted request.

CVSS

Exploitation probability (EPSS)

EPSS (Exploit Prediction Scoring System, FIRST) estimates how likely a vulnerability is to be exploited in the wild within 30 days. It complements CVSS (impact) and CISA KEV (confirmed exploitation).

💥 Public exploits

Exploit code or detection templates are publicly available. This is not the same as confirmed active exploitation (KEV), but it raises the risk: patch with priority.
