CVE-2008-5099

Status: ModifiedMedium (4.6)—

Sun Logical Domain Manager (aka LDoms Manager or ldm) 1.0 through 1.0.3 displays the value of the OpenBoot PROM (OBP) security-password variable in cleartext, which allows local users to bypass the SPARC firmware's password protection, and gain privileges or obtain data access, via the "ldm ls -l" command, a different vulnerability than CVE-2008-4992.

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).
