   Solution Type: Sun Alert
   Solution  237985 :   A Security Vulnerability in the Solaris
   snmpXdmid(1M) may lead to a Denial of Service (DoS) condition          
   Bug ID: 6450410

   Product
   Solaris 8 Operating System, Solaris 9 Operating System, Solaris 10
   Operating System

   Date of Resolved Release: 26-Jun-2008

   SA Document Body
   A Security Vulnerability in the Solaris snmpXdmid(1M) may lead to a
   Denial of Service (DoS) condition

   1. Impact
   A security vulnerability in the Sun Solstice Enterprise SNMP-DMI
   mapper subagent daemon (snmpXdmid(1M)) running on Solaris may allow a
   local or remote unprivileged user to kill the daemon process by
   sending malformed packets. This is a type of Denial of Service (DoS).
   Sun acknowledges, with thanks, IBM Internet Security Systems X-Force
   (http://xforce.iss.net) for bringing this issue to our attention.
   2. Contributing Factors
   This issue can occur in the following releases:
   SPARC Platform:
     * Solaris 8 without patch 108869-35
     * Solaris 9 without patch 137402-01
     * Solaris 10 without patch 128415-01

   x86 Platform:
     * Solaris 8 without patch 108870-35
     * Solaris 9 without patch 137403-01
     * Solaris 10 without patch 128416-01

   Note: Only systems that have the SUNWsadmi package installed and have
   DMI service enabled are impacted by this issue.
   To determine if the package is installed on the system, the following
   command can be run:
   $ pkginfo SUNWsadmi
   system     Solstice Enterprise Agents 1.0.3 Desktop Management Interface

   To determine if snmpXdmi is enabled on a system, the following command
   can be run:
   On Solaris 10:
   $ svcs svc:/application/management/dmi:default

   On Solaris 8 and 9:
   $ ps -aef | grep snmpXdmid
   root  1658     1   0 15:47:05 ?   0:00 /usr/lib/dmi/snmpXdmid
   -s <hostname>

   The above output indicates that the SUNWsadmi package is installed on
   the system and the DMI service is enabled.
   3. Symptoms
   Should the described issue occur, snmpXdmid will core dump.  The
   pstack output of the core file will appear similar to the following:
   core 'core' of 362:     /usr/lib/dmi/snmpXdmid -s <hostname>
