   Solution  239930 :   Security Vulnerability in Firmware for Netra
   T5220 Systems May Allow a Denial of Service (DoS)          
   Bug ID: 6710098

   Product
   Sun Netra T5220 Server

   Date of Resolved Release: 05-Aug-2008

   SA Document Body
   Security Vulnerability in Firmware for Netra T5220 Systems May Allow a
   Denial of Service (DoS)

   1. Impact
   A security vulnerability in the firmware for Sun Netra T5220 systems
   may allow a local unprivileged user to panic the system, which is a
   type of Denial of Service (DoS).
   2. Contributing Factors
   This issue can occur on the following platform:
   SPARC Platform
     * Sun Netra T5220 Server with firmware version 7.1.3 and without
       patch 136934-03

   Note: No other Sun systems are affected by this issue.
   To determine the firmware version on the system, log in to the service
   processor and run the 'showhost' command as in the following example:
   sc> showhost
   Sun System Firmware 7.1.3 2008/05/27 09:53
   Host flash versions:
   Hypervisor 1.6.4 2008/05/27 08:45
   OBP 4.28.6 2008/05/23 12:07
   POST 4.28.6 2008/05/23 12:32

   3. Symptoms
   The system will panic or produce unpredictable results. The panic
   string will include "BAD TRAP type=33" or  "BAD TRAP type=34". User
   applications may fail with a segmentation fault (SIGSEGV) and may also
   write a core file, depending on the user's privileges and the
   system-wide coreadm(1M) settings.

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

   5. Resolution
   This issue is addressed on the following platform:
   SPARC Platform
     * Sun Netra T5220 Server with firmware version 7.1.4.a (as delivered
       in patch 136934-03 or later)
