SYNOPSIS: SunPlex (Sun Cluster) Multiple Security Vulnerabilities in
OpenSSL Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) and Transport Layer Security (TLS)
Protocols
DETAIL DESCRIPTION:
Sun(sm) Alert Notification
* Sun Alert ID: 57475
* Synopsis: SunPlex (Sun Cluster) Multiple Security Vulnerabilities
in OpenSSL Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) and Transport Layer Security
(TLS) Protocols
* Category: Security
* Product: Sun Cluster
* BugIDs: 4959521
* Avoidance: Workaround, T-Patch
* State: Engineering Complete
* Date Released: 16-Jan-2004
* Date Closed:
* Date Modified: 09-Feb-2004
1. Impact
On systems running Sun Cluster 3.x with SunPlex Manager configured, a
remote unprivileged user (who has obtained "root" privileges) may
cause a Denial of Service (DoS) and arbitrary code execution due to
multiple vulnerabilities in OpenSSL Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) and
Transport Layer Security (TLS) protocols.
This issue is also described in CERT Vulnerability VU#104280 at
[1]http://www.kb.cert.org/vuls/id/104280, which is referenced in CERT
Advisory CA-2003-26 at
[2]http://www.cert.org/advisories/CA-2003-26.html. Also see the NISCC
Vulnerability Advisory 006489/TLS at
[3]http://www.uniras.gov.uk/vuls/2003/006489/tls.htm.
2. Contributing Factors
This issue can occur in the following releases:
SPARC Platform
* Sun Cluster 3.0 (for Solaris 8) with SunPlex Manager configured
* Sun Cluster 3.0 (for Solaris 9) with SunPlex Manager configured
* Sun Cluster 3.1 (for Solaris 8) with SunPlex Manager configured
* Sun Cluster 3.1 (for Solaris 9) with SunPlex Manager configured
Notes:
1. Sun Cluster 3.x is not supported on Solaris 7 or Solaris x86
platforms.
2. Sun Cluster 2.x is not affected by this issue.
3. Sun Cluster component SunPlex Manager uses OpenSSL.
To determine if SunPlex Manager is configured and running on a cluster
node, run the following command:
$ /usr/bin/ps -fp `/usr/bin/cat /var/cluster/spm/httpd.pid`
If the output is similar to the following:
UID PID PPID C STIME TTY TIME CMD
root 2907 1 0 Nov 19 ? 0:02 /usr/apache/bin/httpd -DSSL -f /opt
/SUNWscvw/conf/httpd.conf
then SunPlex Manager is running on this cluster node. If the above
command returns no process information or an error, SunPlex Manager is
not running on this cluster node.
3. Symptoms
There are no predictable symptoms that would indicate the above
described issue has been exploited.
SOLUTION SUMMARY:
4. Relief/Workaround
To work around the described issue, systems can be protected by
completely stopping the SunPlex Manager by running the following
command:
$ /etc/init.d/initspm stop
The following T-patches are available through normal support channels
for the following releases:
SPARC Platform
* Sun Cluster 3.0 (for Solaris 8) T-Patch T113505-02
* Sun Cluster 3.0 (for Solaris 9) T-Patch T113508-02
* Sun Cluster 3.1 (for Solaris 8) T-Patch T115054-01
* Sun Cluster 3.1 (for Solaris 9) T-Patch T115055-01
5. Resolution
A final resolution is pending completion.
Change History
