Sun Alert 102246 A Security Vulnerability in the "libike" Library May Potentially Cause a Denial of Service to the in.iked(1M) Daemon
Product: Solaris 9 Operating System, Solaris 10 Operating System It may be possible for a remote privileged user to cause the in.iked(1M) daemon to crash or cause in.iked to send invalid data to a peer system, potentially causing that system's in.iked daemon to crash, when an IKE exchange with a malformed payload is attempted. If in.iked crashes, then IKE can not be used to exchange keying information for IPsec, thus causing a Denial of Service (DoS) to IPsec protected network traffic. This issue is revealed by the test suite described in NISCC vulnerability #273756, which is available at http://www.uniras.gov.uk/niscc/docs/br-20051114-01013.html?lang=en Avoidance: Patch State: Resolved First released: 08-May-2006

Sun is publishing this note on the impact of the FPU Information Disclosure Vulnerability on the Solaris Operating System, as we anticipate a number of potential customer queries regarding this vulnerability that affects multiple Unix vendors. The Solaris Operating System is not impacted by this vulnerability. Support for AMD64 processors was introduced with the release of Solaris 10. Solaris 10 implements methods to clear all x87 exception pointers (ip, dp, opcode) and initialize them to benign values on every context switch. Furthermore, the x87 state is saved/restored only for x87 users. This issue is described further here: http://www.cve.mitre.org/cgi-bin/cvename.cgi?name=CVE-2006-1056 Permalink | Comments [0] |
