Contributing Factors This issue can occur in the following releases: SPARC Platform * Solaris 10 with patch 122911-12 or later and without patch 122911-16 * Solaris 9 with patch 114016-02 or later and without patch 114016-04 x86 Platform * Solaris 10 with patch 122912-12 or later and without patch 122912-16 * Solaris 9 with patch 114017-02 or later and without patch 114017-04 Note 1: A system is only vulnerable to the described issue if the Apache 1.3 web server has been configured and is running on the system. The following command can be executed to determine if the Apache 1.3 web server is currently running on the system: $ /usr/bin/ps -ef | grep httpd nobody 103892 102307 0 Jan 20 ? 0:27 /usr/apache/bin/httpd Note 2: The vulnerability only affects systems which make use of the Apache 1.3 module mod_jk. To determine if the mod_jk module is used, a command such as the following can be run to search the Apache configuration files for the use of the Tomcat connector. This should be repeated for all of the configuration files that define the running Apache 1.3 configuration: $ grep mod_jk.so /etc/apache/tomcat.conf LoadModule jk_module libexec/mod_jk.so Note 3: Solaris 8 does not include the "mod_jk" module and so it is not impacted by this issue. Note 4: OpenSolaris never included version of Apache 1.3 module "mod_jk" which is vulnerable to this issue and thus it is not impacted. 3. Symptoms There are no predictable symptoms that would indicate that this issue has been exploited. 4. Relief/Workaround There is no workaround for this issue. 5.
