The vulnerability could give hackers and online vandals the ability to take control of Solaris-based systems, stated an advisory released late Monday by security software developer Internet Security Systems. Sun Microsystems' spokesman Brett Smith confirmed that the company knew of the flaw.

"We are aware of the problem, and we are working on a patch," he said, adding that Sun had been working with ISS on a patch, but problems during testing had delayed the fix. "We are trying to get it up as soon as possible."
