The NFSv4 server kernel module in Sun Solaris 10, and OpenSolaris before snv_119, does not properly implement the nfs_portmon setting, which allows remote attackers to access shares, and read, create, and modify arbitrary files, via unspecified vectors.

Security readout for executives and security teams

This flaw affects NFSv4 sharing on Sun Solaris 10 and OpenSolaris before snv_119. A remote attacker may bypass the intended nfs_portmon restriction and gain access to shared files, including reading, creating, or modifying files. Business risk depends on whether legacy Solaris NFSv4 servers still expose sensitive shares. Exposure is most likely on legacy Sun Solaris 10 systems or OpenSolaris builds before snv_119 running NFSv4 server exports, especially where NFS is reachable beyond tightly trusted networks. Prioritize if the organization still runs Solaris NFSv4 for sensitive data or exposes NFS across broad internal networks. This is legacy technology, but the file modification impact makes unpatched systems operationally significant. Mitigation focus: Identify Solaris 10 and OpenSolaris NFSv4 servers.; Review the referenced Sun advisory and patch guidance.; Apply vendor-supported fixes where available..
