Sun(sm) Alert Notification
     * Sun Alert ID: 102305
     * Synopsis: Security Vulnerability With Sun StorADE Version 2.4
       Installation
     * Category: Security
     * Product: Storage Automated Diagnostic Environment 2.4
     * BugIDs: 6397587
     * Avoidance: Patch, Workaround
     * State: Resolved
     * Date Released: 02-Jun-2006
     * Date Closed: 02-Jun-2006
     * Date Modified: 

1. Impact

   A local unprivileged user may be able to execute arbitrary code with
   the privileges of another user (including root), due to incorrect file
   and directory permissions from one of the package components of the
   Sun Storage Automated Diagnostic Environment (StorADE) Software.

2. Contributing Factors

   This issue can occur in the following release:

   SPARC Platform
     * Storage Automated Diagnostic Environment (StorADE) 2.4 (for
       Solaris 8, 9 and 10) without patch 117654-60

   Notes:
    1. StorADE versions 2.0, 2.1, 2.2, and 2.3 are not affected by this
       issue (2.4 is the only version affected).
    2. The x86 platform is not affected by this issue.
    3. This issue only affects systems which have installed the optional
       SUNWstadm package. The optional SUNWstadm package adds a web
       browser-based graphical user interface to the Sun Storage
       Automated Diagnostic Environment software.

   To determine if the SUNWstadm has been installed on the system, the
   following command can be run:
    # pkginfo SUNWstadm
    SUNWstadm  Storage Automated Diagnostic Environment - Management Station UI

   To determine the version of StorADE running on a system, the following
   command can be run:
    # pkginfo -l SUNWstade | grep ^VERSION
    VERSION=2.4

3. Symptoms

   Files and directories which comprise the optional SUNWstadm package
   will have world writable permissions. The files and directories will
   be installed under the /var/opt/webconsole/webapps/storade directory
   and can be listed via the following find(1) command:
    $ find /var/opt/webconsole/webapps/storade -perm -002 -print 

4. Relief/Workaround

   To work around the described issue prior to patch relief, the
   administrator can make the mode changes manually within the active
   "Lockhart" directory by running the following commands:
    # find /var/opt/webconsole/webapps/storade -type d -exec chmod 755 {} \;
    # find /var/opt/webconsole/webapps/storade -type f -exec chmod 644 {} \;

5. Resolution

   This issue is addressed in the following release:

   SPARC Platform
     * Storage Automated Diagnostic Environment (StorADE) 2.4 (for
       Solaris 8, 9 and 10) with patch 117654-60 or later
