SA Document Body
Security Vulnerability in Sun Ray Server Software May Compromise the
Sun Ray Administration Password
1. Impact
A security vulnerability in Sun Ray Server Software may allow remote
unprivileged users to gain access to the Sun Ray administration
password, which in turn would allow unauthorized remote access to the
Sun Ray Data Store and unauthorized access to the Sun Ray
Administration GUI as the built-in 'admin' user.
2. Contributing Factors
This issue can occur in the following releases:
SPARC Platform
Sun Ray Server Software 4.0 (for Solaris 10) without patch 127553-04
Sun Ray Server Software 3.1 (for Solaris 8,9,10 and Trusted Solaris
8) with patch 120879-01 through 120879-07 and without patch 120879-08
x86 Platform
Sun Ray Server Software 4.0 (for Solaris 10) without patch 127554-04
Sun Ray Server Software 3.1 (for Solaris 10) with patch 120880-01
through 120880-07 and without patch 120880-08
Linux Platform
Sun Ray Server Software 4.0 (for RHEL AS 4, SLES 9) without patch
127555-04
Sun Ray Server Software 3.1.1 (for RHEL AS 4, SLES 9) without patch
124388-03
Sun Ray Server Software 3.1 (for JDS 2, RHEL AS 3, SLES 8) with
patch 120881-01 through 120881-07 and without patch 120881-08
Notes:
1. Sun Ray Server Software 3.1 without patch 120879/120880/120881, Sun
Ray Server Software 3.0 and earlier releases are not affected.
To determine the version of Sun Ray Server software in use, the
following command can be run:
$ /opt/SUNWut/lib/utprodinfo -p SUNWuto VERSION
4.0_48
2. Servers that are configured as secondary servers in a replication
group are usually affected. This occurs the first time replication is
configured using the utreplica(1M) tool after the server was
configured using utconfig(1M).
To determine if a Sun Ray server is configured as secondary server in
a replication group, the utreplica(1M) command line tool can be used:
$ /opt/SUNWut/sbin/utreplica -l
Sun Ray Core Services 4.0
Administration Failover Configuration
testserver2 is a secondary server
The primary server is: testserver1
3. To determine if a system may be affected, the following commands
can be run as 'root" user:
$ sed -n '/SUNWut begin/,/SUNWut end/ s/.*access to.*"\(.*\)".*/\1/p' /
etc/opt/SUNWut/srds/current/utdsd.acl.conf | uniq | wc -l
2
If the output of this command is "1", the system is not affected.
If the output is "2" the system may be affected, and the following
command can be run as root to further confirm this:
$ sed -n 's/.*utname=\([^,]*\),.*/\1/p' /etc/opt/SUNWut/srds/current/
utdsd.acl.conf | uniq | wc -l
2
If the output of this command is "2", the system is most likely
affected.
3. Symptoms
There are no predictable symptoms that would indicate the described
issue has been exploited.
4. Workaround
If a system is configured as a secondary replication server, a safe
configuration can be created by temporarily unconfiguring and
immediately restoring the replication state using the utreplica(1M)
command with the '-u' and '-s' options. After this change has been
applied to all secondary servers in the replication group, use the
utpw(1M) command or the Sun Ray web administration GUI to change the
Sun Ray administration password on all servers in the replication group.
Note: If uttscadm(1M) is run to configure Sun Ray Windows Connector
after application of this workaround, the workaround needs to be
reapplied. If utconfig(1M) is run to recreate the configuration of Sun
Ray Server Software and the server is subsequently again converted to
a secondary replication server, the workaround needs to be reapplied.
5. Resolution
This issue is addressed in the following releases:
SPARC Platform
Sun Ray Server Software 4.0 (for Solaris 10) with patch 127553-04 or
later
Sun Ray Server Software 3.1 (for Solaris 8,9,10 and Trusted Solaris
8) with patch 120879-08 or later
x86 Platform
Sun Ray Server Software 4.0 (for Solaris 10) with patch 127554-04 or
later
Sun Ray Server Software 3.1 (for Solaris 10) with patch 120880-08 or
later
Linux Platform
Sun Ray Server Software 4.0 (for RHEL AS 4, SLES 9) with patch
127555-04 or later
Sun Ray Server Software 3.1.1 (for RHEL AS 4, SLES 9) with patch
124388-03 or later
Sun Ray Server Software 3.1 (for JDS 2, RHEL AS 3, SLES 8) with
patch 120881-08 or later
Note: After installation of the listed patches to resolve the issue,
use the utpw(1M) command or the Sun Ray web administration GUI to
change the Sun Ray administration password on all servers in the
replication group. If the Sun Ray administration password has also
been used for other purposes, passwords in affected software should be
changed as well.
