1. Impact

    A security vulnerability in Sun Remote Services (SRS) Net Connect
    Software may allow a local unprivileged user to read partial contents
    of any file on the system.

    Sun acknowledges with thanks, iDefense (http://www.idefense.com)
    for bringing this issue to our attention.

    This issue is also described in the following document:

    d=531

2. Contributing Factors

    This issue can occur in the following releases:

    SPARC Platform
      * SRS Net Connect Software 3.2.3 (for Solaris 8, 9 and 10) without
        patch 125713-01
      * SRS Net Connect Software 3.2.4 (for Solaris 8, 9 and 10) without
        patch 123870-02

    Notes:
     1. The SRS Net Connect software only runs on the SPARC platform.
     2. This issue only occurs on systems which have installed the Sun
        Remote Services (SRS) Net Connect software. (SRS Net Connect
        software is not bundled with Solaris).

    To determine if the SRS Net Connect software has been installed on a
    system, the following command can be run:
     $ pkginfo SUNWsrspx
     system      SUNWsrspx Sun(SM) Net Connect Proxy Core

    To determine the version of the SRS Net Connect software installed on
    the system, the filename of the SRS Net Connect Uninstall script can
    be examined:
     $ ls -l /opt/SUNWsrspx/bin/Uninstall*
     -r-xr-----   1 root     root    6422 Mar 16 19:34
     /opt/SUNWsrspx/bin/UninstallNetConnect.003.002.004.sh

    The above output indicates SRS Net Connect version 3.2.4 is installed
    on the system.

3. Symptoms

    There are no predictable symptoms that would indicate the described
    issue has been exploited to read the contents of a file on the system.

4. Relief/Workaround

    There is no workaround for this issue. Please see the Resolution
    section below.

5. Resolution

    This issue is addressed in the following releases:
