Does not specifically say if it includes SOLARIS (only says "*UNIX, Linux, and 
OS X allows local users to gain privileges via unspecified vectors.*").
Do I assume since it says "UNIX" SOLARIS is includes?  We have some old Domino 
Solaris boxes (supposed to go away some time soon....) still running 6.1.3....
