Description:
Sun has acknowledged a security issue in Solaris, which potentially can be exploited by malicious people to conduct cross-site scripting attacks.
The security issue is caused due to the Solaris Management Console (SMC) webserver responding to HTTP TRACE requests by default. This can be exploited to execute arbitrary HTML and script code in a user's browser session in context of an affected site when combined with certain browser vulnerabilities. It is reportedly not possible to disable the TRACE method.
The security issue has been reported in Solaris 8, 9 and 10 on both SPARC and x86 platforms.
Solution:
Apply patches when available.
The vendor recommends that the SMC may be disabled as a workaround.
-- SPARC Platform --
Solaris 8:
Apply patch 111313-03 or later.
