ProductSolaris 10 Operating System
Date of Resolved Release11-Jan-2010
A security vulnerability in Solaris Trusted Extensions due to missing libraries may allow privilege escalation:
1. Impact
A security vulnerability in Solaris Trusted Extensions due to libraries
which were not delivered with the Trusted Extensions may allow a local
privileged user to run arbitrary code with elevated privileges.
2. Contributing Factors
This issue can occur in the following releases:
SPARC Platform
- Solaris 10 without patch 143502-01
x86 Platform
- Solaris 10 without patch 143503-01
Note 1: Solaris 8, 9 and
OpenSolaris are
not impacted by this issue. Releases prior to Solaris 10 11/06 do not
include Solaris Trusted Extensions and therefore are not vulnerable to
this issue.
Note 2: This issue only
impacts systems that have Solaris Trusted Extensions installed and
running. To determine if a system is configured with Trusted
Extensions and running on a host, execute the following command in the
global zone:
$ svcs labeld
online 16:19:20 svc:/system/labeld:default
If the state is "disabled" or
if "/system/labeld" service is not listed, then the system is not
configured to use Trusted Extensions.
3. Symptoms
There are no predictable symptoms that would indicate the described
issue has been exploited to gain elevated privileges..
4. Workaround
There is no workaround for this issue. Please see the Resolution
section below.
5. Resolution
This issue is addressed in the following releases:
SPARC Platform
- Solaris 10 with patch 143502-01 or later
x86 Platform
- Solaris 10 with patch 143503-01 or later
