So we got X86 Solaris support into MOSDEF just in time - this morning
I noticed that iDefense's Sean Larsson has released an advisory on
XFS. We've put a working remote exploit for Solaris into CANVAS Early
Updates[1]. Good default anonymous remotes don't come out every day.
Solaris is still all over the place so this sort of thing is quite
interesting.

With a fairly different bug like this one, it's always fun to see how
everyone else exploits the byte-swapping primitive. Sinan Eren's way
of doing it is cool, but I certainly never would have thought of it.

quarter - that's about one dollar a Solaris box if you do enough
pen-tests!  :>
