CVE-2006-4319
Buffer overflow in the format command in Solaris 8, 9, and 10 allows local users with access to format (such as the "File System Management" RBAC profile) to execute arbitrary code via unknown vectors, a different vulnerability than CVE-2006-4307.
Does this matter?
High impact if exploited, but EPSS currently rates exploitation as unlikely (0.48%). Schedule it in the normal patch cycle and watch for a rise in EPSS or a public exploit.
