Vulnerability in the Solaris component of Oracle Sun Systems Products Suite (subcomponent: Smartcard Libraries). The supported version that is affected is 11.3. Easily "exploitable" vulnerability allows low privileged attacker with logon to the infrastructure where Solaris executes to compromise Solaris. Successful attacks of this vulnerability can result in unauthorized ability to cause a hang or frequently repeatable crash (complete DOS) of Solaris as well as unauthorized update, insert or delete access to some of Solaris accessible data and unauthorized read access to a subset of Solaris accessible data. CVSS 3.0 Base Score 6.6 (Confidentiality, Integrity and Availability impacts). CVSS Vector: (CVSS:3.0/AV:L/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:L/I:L/A:H).

Security readout for executives and security teams

CVE-2017-3551 affects Oracle Solaris 11.3 Smartcard Libraries. A low-privileged logged-in attacker could disrupt the system and access or modify some Solaris-accessible data. The issue is not remotely reachable by unauthenticated attackers based on the provided CVSS vector, but it matters on shared or multi-user Solaris infrastructure. Exposure is limited to systems running Oracle Solaris 11.3 where low-privileged users can log on. Risk is higher on shared administration hosts, legacy application servers, or environments with many local accounts. No other affected products or versions are supported by the provided sources. Treat this as a moderate legacy-platform risk. It is not presented as internet-exploitable, but it can affect availability and data integrity after local access. Prioritize systems that host critical workloads or allow many users to log in. Mitigation focus: Identify all Oracle Solaris 11.3 systems in production and support environments.; Review Oracle's April 2017 Critical Patch Update guidance for the Solaris fix path.; Apply vendor-recommended Solaris updates where applicable..
