SUN » Solaris : Security Vulnerabilities, CVEs, CVSS score between 5 and 5.99

The libike library, as used by in.iked, elfsign, and kcfd in Sun Solaris 9 and 10, when using an RSA key with exponent 3, removes PKCS-1 padding before generating a hash, which allows remote attackers to forge a PKCS #1 v1.5 signature that is signed by that RSA key and prevents libike from correctly verifying X.509 and other certificates that use PKCS #1, a similar issue to CVE-2006-4339.

ipnat in IP Filter in Sun Solaris 10 and OpenSolaris before snv_96, when running on a DNS server with Network Address Translation (NAT) configured, improperly changes the source port of a packet when the destination port is the DNS port, which allows remote attackers to bypass an intended CVE-2008-1447 protection mechanism and spoof the responses to DNS queries sent by named.

Hyper-Threading technology, as used in FreeBSD and other operating systems that are run on Intel Pentium and other processors, allows local users to use a malicious thread to create covert channels, monitor the execution of other threads, and obtain sensitive information such as cryptographic keys, via a timing attack on memory cache misses.

The squeue_drain function in Sun Solaris 10, possibly only when run on CMT processors, allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service ("bad trap" and system panic) by opening and closing a large number of TCP connections ("heavy TCP/IP loads"). NOTE: the original report specifies the function name as "drain_squeue," but this is likely incorrect.

Race condition in Sun Solaris 10 allows attackers to cause a denial of service (system panic) via unspecified vectors related to ifconfig and either netstat or SNMP queries.

The IPv4 Forwarding feature in Sun Solaris 10 and OpenSolaris snv_47 through snv_82, with certain patches installed, allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (panic) via unknown vectors that trigger a NULL pointer dereference.

Unspecified vulnerability in the NFSv4 client module in the kernel on Sun Solaris 10 and OpenSolaris before snv_37, when automountd is used, allows user-assisted remote attackers to cause a denial of service (unresponsive NFS filesystems) via unknown vectors.

DNS cache poisoning via BIND, by predictable query IDs.

Sun's ftpd daemon can be subjected to a denial of service.

ICMP messages to broadcast addresses are allowed, allowing for a Smurf attack that can cause a denial of service.

Denial of service in BIND named via consuming more than "fdmax" file descriptors.

Denial of service in Solaris TCP streams driver via a malicious connection that causes the server to panic as a result of recursive calls to mutex_enter.

rpc.mountd on Linux, Ultrix, and possibly other operating systems, allows remote attackers to determine the existence of a file on the server by attempting to mount that file, which generates different error messages depending on whether the file exists or not.

Solaris dmispd dmi_cmd allows local users to fill up restricted disk space by adding files to the /var/dmi/db database.

cachefsd in Solaris 2.6, 7, and 8 allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (crash) via an invalid procedure call in an RPC request.

The getdbm procedure in ypxfrd allows local users to read arbitrary files, and remote attackers to read databases outside /var/yp, via a directory traversal and symlink attack on the domain and map arguments.

Unknown vulnerability in NFS on Solaris 2.5.1 through Solaris 9 allows an NFS client to cause a denial of service by killing the lockd daemon.

Directory traversal vulnerabilities in multiple FTP clients on UNIX systems allow remote malicious FTP servers to create or overwrite files as the client user via filenames containing /absolute/path or .. (dot dot) sequences.

Unknown vulnerability in Solaris 8 for Intel and Solaris 8 and 9 for SPARC allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service via certain packets that cause some network interfaces to stop responding to TCP traffic.

Directory traversal vulnerability in Sun Kodak Color Management System (KCMS) library service daemon (kcms_server) allows remote attackers to read arbitrary files via the KCS_OPEN_PROFILE procedure.

MIT Kerberos V5 Key Distribution Center (KDC) before 1.2.5 allows remote authenticated attackers to cause a denial of service (crash) on KDCs within the same realm via a certain protocol request that causes a null dereference.

The NFS Server for Solaris 7, 8, and 9 allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (UFS panic) via certain invalid UFS requests, which triggers a null dereference.

Buffer overflow in the syslog daemon for Solaris 2.6 through 9 allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (syslogd crash) and possibly execute arbitrary code via long syslog UDP packets.

The Telnet daemon (in.telnetd) for Solaris 2.6 through 9 allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (CPU consumption by infinite loop).

Unknown vulnerability in rpcbind for Solaris 2.6 through 9 allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (rpcbind crash).
