CVE-1999-1295

Summary

CVE-1999-1295 is a vulnerability affecting Transarc DCE Distributed File System (DFS) version 1.1 on Solaris 2.4 and 2.5. This issue arises due to the inadequate initialization of the grouplist for users belonging to a large number of groups. Consequently, such users may gain unauthorized access to resources that are otherwise protected by DFS. This vulnerability poses a significant risk to systems where users belong to a vast number of groups and could lead to potential security breaches. It is recommended that affected systems be updated to a more secure version of DCE DFS to mitigate this risk.
