CVE-2009-3706
Unspecified vulnerability in the ZFS filesystem in Sun Solaris 10, and OpenSolaris snv_100 through snv_117, allows local users to bypass intended limitations of the file_chown_self privilege via certain uses of the chown system call.
Does this matter?
Lower severity and a low EPSS score (0.32%). Track it; it rarely justifies an emergency change on its own.
