Title: Solaris security logging Vulnerability
Severity: LOW
Description:
Under Solaris 2.x, login failure information is not all logged in one place. The tty and remote source host, if any, are written to /var/adm/messages, while the account name that was attempted, along with the tty but *not* the source host, is logged in /var/adm/loginlog *if it exists*. /var/adm/loginlog is not created by default when the OS is installed; it has to be touched and should be mode 600.
Solaris 2.6 does not write anything in /var/adm/loginlog even if it does exist. This has been assigned bug ID 4096961.
Affected Products:
- Sun Solaris 2.6
- Sun Solaris 2.6_x86
