CVE-2017-3623: Vulnerability in the Solaris component of Oracle Sun Systems Products Suite (subcomponent: Kernel RPC).

Vulnerability in the Solaris component of Oracle Sun Systems Products Suite (subcomponent: Kernel RPC). For supported versions that are affected see note. Easily "exploitable" vulnerability allows unauthenticated attacker with network access via multiple protocols to compromise Solaris. While the vulnerability is in Solaris, attacks may significantly impact additional products. Successful attacks of this vulnerability can result in takeover of Solaris. Note: CVE-2017-3623 is assigned for "Ebbisland". Solaris 10 systems which have had any Kernel patch installed after, or updated via patching tools since 2012-01-26 are not impacted. Also, any Solaris 10 system installed with Solaris 10 1/13 (Solaris 10 Update 11) are not vulnerable. Solaris 11 is not impacted by this issue. CVSS 3.0 Base Score 10.0 (Confidentiality, Integrity and Availability impacts). CVSS Vector: (CVSS:3.0/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:C/C:H/I:H/A:H).

Security readout for executives and security teams

This is a critical Solaris flaw that can let an unauthenticated network attacker take over affected Solaris systems. The source notes important limits: Solaris 11 is not impacted, and many Solaris 10 systems patched since January 26, 2012 are not vulnerable. Exposure is most likely on older Solaris 10 systems that did not receive Kernel patches after January 26, 2012 and were not installed as Solaris 10 1/13. Solaris 11 is stated as not impacted. Treat this as urgent for legacy Solaris estates because the described impact is full system takeover without credentials. Prioritize asset discovery, patch verification, and isolation of uncertain Solaris 10 systems. Mitigation focus: Identify all Solaris hosts and versions in the environment.; Confirm Solaris 10 Kernel patch history against Oracle guidance.; Prioritize patching or retirement of unpatched Solaris 10 systems..
