-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 =========================================================================== AUSCERT External Security Bulletin Redistribution ESB-2009.0562 -- [OpenSolaris] smbfs: Read-only Data Access 12 June 2009 =========================================================================== AusCERT Security Bulletin Summary --------------------------------- Product: smbfs Publisher: Sun Microsystems Operating System: OpenSolaris Impact: Read-only Data Access Access: Existing Account CVE Names: CVE-2009-2031 Original Bulletin: http://sunsolve.sun.com/search/printfriendly.do?assetkey=1-66-257548-1 Revision History: June 12 2009: Added CVE Reference June 12 2009: Initial Release - --------------------------BEGIN INCLUDED TEXT-------------------- Solution Type: Sun Alert Solution 257548 : A Security Vulnerability in OpenSolaris smbfs(7FS) may Expose Data to Unauthorized Users Bug ID: 6800703 Product OpenSolaris Date of Resolved Release: 10-Jun-2009 SA Document Body A security vulnerability in OpenSolaris smbfs(7FS) may expose data to unauthorized users: 1. Impact Information disclosure security vulnerability in OpenSolaris smbfs(7FS) when using default mount permissions may allow a local unprivileged user unauthorized access to read contents of the files and list directories on a CIFS (Common Internet File System) mounted volume. 2. Contributing Factors This issue can occur in the following releases: SPARC Platform * OpenSolaris based upon builds snv_84 through snv_110 x86 Platform * OpenSolaris based upon builds snv_84 through snv_110 Note 1: Solaris 8, 9 and 10 are not impacted by this issue. Note 2: OpenSolaris distributions may include additional bug fixes above and beyond the build from which it was derived. To determine the base build of OpenSolaris, the following command can be used: $ uname -v snv_86 Note 3: This issue only affects systems which are setup to allow mouting of CIFS shares. This can be determined by checking the status of the "svc:/network/smb/client" service using a command such as the following: $ svcs svc:/network/smb/client:default STATE STIME FMRI disabled 14:22:02 svc:/network/smb/client:default To determine if a mounted CIFS volume is vulnerable, first locate the mount point of any CIFS volumes on the host using a command such as the following: # mount -v | grep smbfs //server/share on /mnt type smbfs remote/read/write/setuid/devices/intr/noxattr/dev=6480002 on Wed Jun 10 11:42:10 2009 and then check the permissions of all the directories and files located on the mounted volume by using the "ls" command similar to the following: # ls -ld /mnt drwxr-xr-x 1 root root 16384 Apr 9 18:20 /mnt The output from the above command will indicate which users and groups have permission to access the contents of the examined directory. 3. Symptoms There are no predictable symptoms that would indicate the described vulnerability has been exploited. 4. Workaround To work around the described issue, first unmount the affected share, and remount it with options to set the permissions of the CIFS mount point to 700 by using the following command: # mount -F smbfs -o dirperms=700,fileperms=600 ... 5. Resolution This issue is addressed in the following releases: SPARC Platform * OpenSolaris based upon builds snv_111 or later x86 Platform * OpenSolaris based upon builds snv_111 or later For more information on Security Sun Alerts, see Technical Instruction ID 213557.
