A vulnerability in the SunView (SunTools) selection_svc facility allows remote users to read arbitrary files on the affected system. The selection_svc service, intended for clipboard and selection management, does not properly restrict access, enabling unauthorized remote file disclosure.

This repository contains a single Metasploit exploit module targeting a command execution vulnerability in the ypupdated SunRPC service on Solaris systems (CVE-1999-0209). The exploit abuses the way ypupdated handles MAP UPDATE requests, allowing an attacker to inject and execute arbitrary shell commands as root by sending a specially crafted request to the service. The module is written in Ruby and leverages Metasploit's SunRPC support to interact with the target service over the network (UDP). The exploit is operational and provides the attacker with the ability to run arbitrary commands on Solaris 2.7, 8, 9, and 10 systems where ypupdated is running with the '-i' option. The main fingerprintable endpoint is the SunRPC program number 100028 (ypupdated) on the target host. The repository is structured as a single exploit file compatible with the Metasploit framework.
