Solaris 10 Operating System

Bug Id
6598913, 6598910

Date of Resolved Release
09-OCT-2007

Impact

Two Security Vulnerabilities in Solaris Trusted Extensions label daemon (labeld) may allow a local unprivileged user to stop Trusted Extensions services from running on a system. When this occurs, all existing Trusted Desktop sessions would hang and unprivileged users may not be able to log in to the affected trusted system. This creates a Denial of Service (DoS) condition.

Contributing Factors

This issue can occur in the following releases:

SPARC Platform

• Solaris 10 without patch 126448-04

x86 Platform

• Solaris 10 without patch 126449-04

Note: Solaris 8 and Solaris 9 are not impacted by these issues.

To determine if a system is configured with Trusted Extensions, the following command can be run:

    $ svcs /system/labeld
    STATE          STIME      FMRI
    online  07:08:09   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.

Symptoms

Should the described issue occur, a Trusted Extensions service "svc:/system/labeld" would be in a "maintenance" state.

To determine the state of the "labeld" service, the following command can be run:

    $ svcs /system/labeld
    STATE          STIME      FMRI
    maintenance    07:08:09   svc:/system/labeld:default

 

Workaround

There is no workaround. Please see the Resolution section below.

Resolution

This issue is addressed in the following releases:

SPARC Platform

• Solaris 10 with patch 126448-04 or later
