Sun(sm) Alert Notification
* Sun Alert ID: 103109
* Synopsis: Security Vulnerabilities in the Solaris Trusted
Extensions "labeld" Service May Lead to a Denial of Service (DoS)
Condition
* Category: Security
* Product: Solaris 10 Operating System
* BugIDs: 6598913, 6598910
* Avoidance: Patch
* State: Resolved
* Date Released: 09-Oct-2007
* Date Closed: 09-Oct-2007
* Date Modified:
1. 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.
2. 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.
3. 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
4. Relief/Workaround
There is no workaround. Please see the Resolution section below.
5. Resolution
This issue is addressed in the following releases:
SPARC Platform
* Solaris 10 with patch 126448-04 or later
x86 Platform
* Solaris 10 with patch 126449-04 or later
