Description:
A security issue has been reported in Solaris, which can be exploited by malicious, local users to gain knowledge of potentially sensitive information.
The security issue is caused due to the "/usr/ucb/ps" command revealing the environment variables and values of all processes to an unprivileged user when run with the "-e" option. This can potentially reveal certain information of processes that belong to the root user.
The security issue has been reported in Solaris 8 and 9 on both the x86 and SPARC platforms.
Solution:
Apply patches.
-- SPARC Platform --
Solaris 8:
Apply patch 109023-05 or later.
Solaris 9:
Apply patch 120240-01 or later.
-- x86 Platform --
Solaris 8:
Apply patch 109024-05 or later.
Solaris 9:
Apply patch 120239-01 or later,
Provided and/or discovered by:
Reported by vendor.
