SUN » Solaris : Security Vulnerabilities, CVEs, CVSS score between 2 and 3.99

Certain patch-installation scripts in Oracle Solaris allow local users to append data to arbitrary files via a symlink attack on the /tmp/CLEANUP temporary file, related to use of Update Manager.

XScreenSaver in Sun Solaris 10 and OpenSolaris before snv_109, and Solaris 8 and 9 with GNOME 2.0 or 2.0.2, allows physically proximate attackers to obtain sensitive information by reading popup windows, which are displayed even when the screen is locked, as demonstrated by Thunderbird new-mail notifications.

The Kerberos credential renewal feature in Sun Solaris 8, 9, and 10, and OpenSolaris build snv_01 through snv_104, allows local users to cause a denial of service (authentication failure) via unspecified vectors related to incorrect cache file permissions, and lack of credential storage by the store_cred function in pam_krb5.

Unspecified vulnerability in the Solaris Platform Information and Control Library daemon (picld) in Sun Solaris 8 through 10, and OpenSolaris builds snv_01 through snv_95, allows local users to cause a denial of service via unknown vectors that prevent operation of utilities such as prtdiag, prtpicl, and prtfru.

Solaris 9, with Solaris Auditing enabled and certain patches for sshd installed, can generate audit records with an audit-ID of 0 even when the user logging into ssh is not root, which makes it easier for attackers to avoid detection and can make it more difficult to conduct forensics activities.

Unspecified vulnerability in the vuidmice STREAMS modules in Sun Solaris 8, 9, and 10 allows local users with console (/dev/console) access to cause a denial of service ("unusable" system console) via unspecified vectors.

The process scheduler in the Sun Solaris kernel does not make use of the process statistics kept by the kernel and performs scheduling based upon CPU billing gathered from periodic process sampling ticks, which allows local users to cause a denial of service (CPU consumption), as described in "Secretly Monopolizing the CPU Without Superuser Privileges."

Race condition in recursive directory deletion with the (1) -r or (2) -R option in rm in Solaris 8 through 10 before 20070208 allows local users to delete files and directories as the user running rm by moving a low-level directory to a higher level as it is being deleted, which causes rm to chdir to a ".." directory that is higher than expected, possibly up to the root file system, a related issue to CVE-2002-0435.

The Xsession script, as used by X Display Manager (xdm) in NetBSD before 20060212, X.Org before 20060317, and Solaris 8 through 10 before 20061006, allows local users to overwrite arbitrary files, or read another user's Xsession errors file, via a symlink attack on a /tmp/xses-$USER file.

Sun Solaris 10 before 20061006 uses "incorrect and insufficient permission checks" that allow local users to intercept or spoof packets by creating a raw socket on a link aggregation (network device aggregation).

The Netscape Portable Runtime (NSPR) API 4.6.1 and 4.6.2, as used in Sun Solaris 10, trusts user-specified environment variables for specifying log files even when running from setuid programs, which allows local users to create or overwrite arbitrary files.

pkgadd in Sun Solaris 10 before 20060825 installs files with insecure file and directory permissions (755 or 777) if the pkgmap file contains a "?" (question mark) in the mode field, which allows local users to modify arbitrary files or directories, a different vulnerability than CVE-2002-1871.

Race condition in (1) libnsl and (2) TLI/XTI API routines in Sun Solaris 10 allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service ("tight loop" and CPU consumption for listener applications) via unknown vectors related to TCP fusion (do_tcp_fusion).

The IPv4 implementation in Sun Solaris 10 before 20060721 allows local users to select routes that differ from the routing table, possibly facilitating firewall bypass or unauthorized network communication.

Unspecified vulnerability in Solaris 8 and 9 allows local users to obtain the LDAP Directory Server root Distinguished Name (rootDN) password when a privileged user (1) runs idsconfig; or "insecurely" runs LDAP2 commands with the -w option, including (2) ldapadd, (3) ldapdelete, (4) ldapmodify, (5) ldapmodrdn, and (6) ldapsearch.

The Bourne shell (sh) in Solaris 8, 9, and 10 allows local users to cause a denial of service (sh crash) via an unspecified attack vector that causes sh processes to crash during creation of temporary files.

Unspecified vulnerability in the pagedata subsystem of the process file system (/proc) in Solaris 8 through 10 allows local users to cause a denial of service (system hang or panic) via unknown attack vectors that cause cause the kmem_oversize arena to allocate a large amount of system memory that does not get freed.

Unspecified vulnerability in the kernel processing in Solaris 10 64 bit platform, when running in 64-bit mode, allows local users to cause a denial of service (system panic) via unknown attack vectors.

Multiple unspecified vulnerabilities in lpsched in Sun Solaris 8, 9, and 10 allow local users to delete arbitrary files or disable the LP print service via unknown attack vectors.

Unspecified vulnerability in the XView library (libxview.so) in Solaris 2.5 to 10 allows local users to corrupt files via unknown vectors related to the handling of the clipboard selection while an XView application exits.

Unspecified vulnerability in the "privilege management" feature of Sun Solaris 10 allows local users to cause a denial of service (panic) via unknown vectors that trigger a null dereference in the secpolicy_fs_common function.

Unspecified vulnerability in Process File System (procfs) in Sun Solaris 10 allows local users to obtain sensitive information such as process working directories via unknown attack vectors, possibly pwdx.

Sun Update Connection in Sun Solaris 10, when configured to use a web proxy, allows local users to obtain the proxy authentication password via (1) an unspecified vector and (2) proxy log files.

Unknown vulnerability in Solaris 10 allows local users to cause a denial of service (panic) via unknown vectors related to the "/proc" filesystem, which trigger a null dereference.

Unspecified vulnerability in Unix File System (UFS) on Solaris 8 and 9, when logging is enabled, allows local users to cause a denial of service ("soft hang") via certain write operations to UFS.
