Title: Sun Fire Unauthorized Environmental Monitoring Subsystem Modification Vulnerability
Severity: LOW
Description:
Sun Fire products are general purpose server hardware platforms which can be used for a variety of applications. Some Sun Fire systems include an environmental monitoring subsystem which provides feedback on the device.
A vulnerability has been reported in some Sun Fire models. It may be possible for a malicious local user to issue commands to the environmental monitoring system. An attacker may be able to leverage this ability to create a denial of service condition where the system is no longer available. Reportedly, this vulnerability may be exploited by an unprivileged local user.
This vulnerability has been reported in Sun Fire 280R, V880, and V480 systems used with Solaris 8. Reportedly, Solaris 9 does not suffer from this issue.
Affected Products:
- Sun Sun Fire 280R 0.0.0
