Sun OpenSolaris Snv 28 race condition

CVSS Meta Temp Score CVSS is a standardized scoring system to determine possibilities of attacks. The Temp Score considers temporal factors like disclosure, exploit and countermeasures. The unique Meta Score calculates the average score of different sources to provide a normalized scoring system.	Current Exploit Price (≈) Our analysts are monitoring exploit markets and are in contact with vulnerability brokers. The range indicates the observed or calculated exploit price to be seen on exploit markets. A good indicator to understand the monetary effort required for and the popularity of an attack.	CTI Interest Score Our Cyber Threat Intelligence team is monitoring different web sites, mailing lists, exploit markets and social media networks. The CTI Interest Score identifies the interest of attackers and the security community for this specific vulnerability in real-time. A high score indicates an elevated risk to be targeted for this vulnerability.

Detailsinfo

A vulnerability was found in Sun OpenSolaris Snv 28 (Operating System). It has been classified as critical. This affects an unknown function. The manipulation with an unknown input leads to a race condition vulnerability. CWE is classifying the issue as CWE-362. The product contains a code sequence that can run concurrently with other code, and the code sequence requires temporary, exclusive access to a shared resource, but a timing window exists in which the shared resource can be modified by another code sequence that is operating concurrently. This is going to have an impact on confidentiality, integrity, and availability. The summary by CVE is:

Race condition in the Doors subsystem in the kernel in Sun Solaris 8 through 10, and OpenSolaris before snv_94, allows local users to cause a denial of service (process hang), or possibly bypass file permissions or gain kernel-context privileges, via vectors involving the time at which control is transferred from a caller to a door server.

The bug was discovered 03/10/2009. The weakness was presented 03/12/2009 (Website). It is possible to read the advisory at sunsolve.sun.com. This vulnerability is uniquely identified as CVE-2009-0875 since 03/12/2009. Attacking locally is a requirement. No form of authentication is needed for exploitation. The technical details are unknown and an exploit is not publicly available.

It is declared as proof-of-concept. The vulnerability scanner Nessus provides a plugin with the ID 20945 (Solaris 8 (sparc) : 117350-62), which helps to determine the existence of the flaw in a target environment. It is assigned to the family Solaris Local Security Checks and running in the context l. The commercial vulnerability scanner Qualys is able to test this issue with plugin 116300 (Solaris Security Issues in the Doors Kernel Functionality (1019623.1)).

Applying a patch is able to eliminate this problem. A possible mitigation has been published 2 months after the disclosure of the vulnerability.

The vulnerability is also documented in the databases at X-Force (49192), Tenable (20945), SecurityFocus (BID 34081†), OSVDB (52561†) and Secunia (SA34227†).
