Loading vulnerability…
A directory traversal vulnerability exists in the Sun Kodak Color Management System (KCMS) library service daemon (kcms_server). The vulnerability allows remote attackers to read arbitrary files on the system by exploiting the KCS_OPEN_PROFILE procedure, which fails to properly sanitize user-supplied input for file paths.

This repository contains a single Metasploit auxiliary module (modules/auxiliary/admin/sunrpc/solaris_kcms_readfile.rb) that exploits a directory traversal vulnerability (CVE-2003-0027) in the kcms_server component of the Kodak Color Management System on Solaris 2.5 - 9 (SPARC and x86). The exploit leverages the ToolTalk Database Server's TT_ISBUILD procedure to bypass directory traversal protections and read arbitrary files from the target system via SunRPC. The module allows the attacker to specify a file path (default: /etc/shadow) to read, and optionally save the contents locally. The exploit requires both kcms_server and rpc.ttdbserverd to be running on the target. The code is written in Ruby and is designed to be run within the Metasploit framework. The main attack vector is network-based, targeting SunRPC services on the remote Solaris host. The module is operational and provides a working file read capability against vulnerable systems.
