Multiple security vulnerabilities in the LDAP client configuration cache daemon (ldap_cachemgr(1M)) may allow a local unprivileged user to terminate the ldap_cachemgr daemon. On Solaris 9 and 10 systems this will prevent LDAP name service requests from succeeding. This is a type of Denial of Service (DoS) as LDAP name service requests will hang and users may no longer be able to login to LDAP client systems. On Solaris 8 systems, LDAP name service requests will be slower, as caching will not occur which is also a type of Denial of Service (DoS).

Multiple security vulnerabilities with varying impacts affect Firefox (see firefox(1)) versions prior to 3.5.3 as shipped with OpenSolaris. These vulnerabilities may allow an unprivileged remote user to steal content from the "History" or "Smart Location" bar, or to possibly execute arbitrary code on the system where Firefox is being run. Further vulnerabilities may allow a remote user to run malicious JavaScript at Chrome privileges or perform a cross-origin data theft.

A security vulnerability in the TLS protocol (TLS 1.0 or later and SSLv3) may allow an unauthenticated, remote attacker to conduct man-in-the-middle (MITM) type of attacks where chosen plain text may be injected as a prefix in an user's TLS session. This vulnerability does not allow one to decrypt the intercepted network communication.

This issue is referenced in CVE-2009-3555

Exact nature of the impact depends on the application making use of the TLS facility. Applications which use Network Security Services (NSS), Java Secure Socket Extensions (JSSE), OpenSSL or GnuTLS libraries may be affected.

Sun is evaluating the impact of the issue on various products which make use of the TLS libraries. We are working to fix the TLS implementations according to the TLS protocol standard extensions currently being developed.

Solaris Kernel SSL proxy module KSSL does not support client renegotiation or rehandshake. It ignores the rehandshake message which is an allowed behavior by the SSL/TLS specification. Hence it is not vulnerable to this issue. KSSL (see ksslcfg(1M)) is available in Solaris 10 and OpenSolaris. It may be used to workaround the described issue.

Please refer to Sun Alert 273029 for more information related to how this issue affects OpenSSL libraries provided with Solaris and available workarounds.

A security vulnerability in the Transport Layer Security (TLS) and Secure Sockets Layer 3.0 (SSLv3) protocols in the handling of session renegotiations affects OpenSSL (see openssl(5)). This issue may allow a remote unauthenticated user with the ability to intercept and control network traffic to perform man-in-the-middle (MITM) attack to inject arbitrary plaintext at the beginning of the application protocol stream, thus compromising the integrity of the communication. This vulnerability does not allow one to decrypt the intercepted network communication.

The exact nature of the impact of compromised data integrity depends on the application making use of the OpenSSL libraries.

Sun acknowledges with thanks, Marsh Ray and Steve Dispensa of PhoneFactor for bringing this issue to our attention.

Product: Sun xVM VirtualBox 1.6, Sun xVM VirtualBox 2.0, Sun xVM VirtualBox 2.1, Sun xVM VirtualBox 2.2, Sun VirtualBox 3.0

A security vulnerability in the optional Sun VirtualBox Guest Additions may allow local unprivileged
users to exhaust the kernel memory of the guest operating system, leading to a Denial of Service
against the guest operating system running in a virtual machine.

Since the Guest Additions are installed in the guest operating system only, this vulnerability is limited
to local users of the guest operating system running in a virtual machine where the Guest Additions
have been installed. The host operating system is not affected.

Sun would like to acknowledge with thanks, Thomas Biege of SUSE Linux for bringing this issue to our attention.

Two security vulnerabilities exist in the Apache 2 mod_perl2(3) module
components which affect the Apache 2.0 web server bundled with Solaris
10 and the Apache 2.2 web server bundled with OpenSolaris.

The first issue, a Denial of Service (DoS) vulnerability in the "RunPerl.pm"
component (CVE-2007-1349), may allow a remote unprivileged user to
cause a Denial of Service to the Apache 2 "httpd" process.

The second issue, a Cross Site Scripting (CSS or XSS) vulnerability in the
"Status.pm" component (CVE-2009-0796), may allow a remote unprivileged
user to inject arbitrary web script or HTML. This may allow the unprivileged
user to bypass access control and gain access to unauthorized data.
