Sun(sm) Alert Notification
</h2><ul>
<li>
Sun Alert ID: 57581
</li>
<li>
Synopsis: Systems With Sun StorEdge Enterprise Storage Manager 2.1
Installed May Allow an Unprivileged Local User to Gain Root Access </li>
<li>
Category: Security
</li>
<li>
Product: Sun StorEdge Enterprise Storage Manager (ESM)
</li>
<li>
BugIDs: 5033990
</li>
<li>
Avoidance: Workaround, Patch
</li>
<li>
State: Resolved
</li>

</ul><h2>
1. Impact
</h2><p>
A local unprivileged user may be able to gain unauthorized root access
on systems with Sun StorEdge Enterprise Storage Manager (ESM) 2.1
installed. </p><h2>
2. Contributing Factors
</h2><p>
This issue can occur in the following releases:
</p><p>
<b>SPARC Platform</b>
</p><ul>
<li>
Sun StorEdge Enterprise Storage Manager (ESM) 2.1 (for Solaris 8 and Solaris 9) without patch <a href="http://sunsolve.sun.com/pub-cgi/findPatch.pl?patchId=117367&rev=01">117367-01</a>
</li>
</ul><p>
This issue only occurs when a non-root user has been assigned the
"ESMUser" role on the management station. (See the "Relief/Workaround"
section below for information on how to determine if a user has been
assigned the "ESMUser" role.) </p><p>
<b>Note 1:</b> ESM versions 1.2 and 2.0 are not affected by this issue.
</p><p>
<b>Note 2:</b> ESM is not supported on the x86 platform.
</p><h2>
3. Symptoms
</h2><p>
There are no predictable symptoms that would indicate the described
issue has been exploited to gain unauthorized root access to the
system. </p></font><table width="100%" cellpadding="2" cellspacing="0" border="0"><tbody><tr bgcolor="#999999">

<td align="right"><b><a href="#top"><font size="2" color="#ffffff">Top</font></a></b></td></tr></tbody></table>
<font size="2"><h2>
4. Relief/Workaround
</h2><p>
Until patches can be applied, sites may want to remove the "ESMUser" role from all non-root users.
</p><p>
To determine if a user has been assigned the "ESMUser" role, use the following command:
</p><pre> # <b>roles `logins -o | cut -f1 -d:` | grep ESMUser</b> </pre><p>
This command will list the output in the form of:
</p><pre> <username> : <role list> </pre><p>
For example:
</p><pre> # <b>roles `logins -o | cut -f1 -d:` | grep ESMUser</b>
root : ESMUser
ESMUser : No roles
demo : ESMUser
perf : ESMUser </pre><p>
If "ESMUser" does not appear in the role list for any non-root username,
then no further action is needed. However, if "ESMUser" does appear on
the role list for a non-root username, remove it by running the
following command: </p><pre> # <b>/opt/SUNWstm/bin/esm_user -r <username></b> </pre><p>
Given the example above, the corresponding commands to run would be:
</p><pre> # <b>/opt/SUNWstm/bin/esm_user -r demo</b>
Removing ESMUser role from local user: demo ...
Restarting name service cache daemon and smcwebserver...
Restarting smcwebserver...
Shutting down Sun(TM) Web Console Version 2.0.2...
Starting Sun(TM) Web Console Version 2.0.2...
See /var/log/webconsole/console_debug_log for server logging information

# <b>/opt/SUNWstm/bin/esm_user -r perf</b>
Removing ESMUser role from local user: perf ...
Restarting name service cache daemon and smcwebserver...
Restarting smcwebserver...
Shutting down Sun(TM) Web Console Version 2.0.2...
Starting Sun(TM) Web Console Version 2.0.2...
See /var/log/webconsole/console_debug_log for server logging information </pre><p>
<b>Note:</b>
There is no need to run the "esm_user -r" command against the "ESMUser"
username; only run it against other non-root usernames with "ESMUser"
in their role list. </p><h2>
5. Resolution
</h2><p>
This issue is addressed in the following releases:
</p><p>
<b>SPARC Platform</b>
</p><ul>
<li>
Sun StorEdge Enterprise Storage Manager 2.1 (for Solaris 8 and Solaris 9) with patch <a href="http://sunsolve.sun.com/pub-cgi/findPatch.pl?patchId=117367&rev=01">117367-01</a> or later
</li>
</ul><p>
