descriptionThis Solaris system is missing necessary patches to address critical security updates : - Vulnerability in the Solaris component of Oracle Sun Systems Products Suite (subcomponent: Solaris Kernel Zones). The supported version that is affected is 11.2. Easily exploitable vulnerability requiring logon to Operating System. Successful attack of this vulnerability can result in unauthorized read access to a subset of Solaris accessible data. (CVE-2015-4801) - Vulnerability in the Solaris component of Oracle Sun Systems Products Suite (subcomponent: Kernel Zones virtualized NIC driver). The supported version that is affected is 11.2. Very difficult to exploit vulnerability requiring logon to Operating System. Successful attack of this vulnerability can result in unauthorized Operating System takeover including arbitrary code execution. (CVE-2015-4817) - Vulnerability in the Solaris component of Oracle Sun Systems Products Suite (subcomponent: Solaris Kernel Zones). The supported version that is affected is 11.2. Very difficult to exploit vulnerability requiring logon to Operating System. Successful attack of this vulnerability can result in unauthorized Operating System takeover including arbitrary code execution. (CVE-2015-4820) - Vulnerability in the Solaris component of Oracle Sun Systems Products Suite (subcomponent: Solaris Kernel Zones). The supported version that is affected is 11.2. Very difficult to exploit vulnerability requiring logon to Operating System. Successful attack of this vulnerability can result in unauthorized ability to cause a partial denial of service (partial DOS) of Solaris. (CVE-2015-4822) - Vulnerability in the Solaris component of Oracle Sun Systems Products Suite (subcomponent: Solaris Kernel Zones). The supported version that is affected is 11.2. Easily exploitable vulnerability requiring logon to Operating System. Successful attack of this vulnerability can result in unauthorized Operating System hang or frequently repeatable crash (complete DOS). (CVE-2015-4831) - Vulnerability in the Solaris component of Oracle Sun Systems Products Suite (subcomponent: Utility/Security). The supported version that is affected is 11.2. Difficult to exploit vulnerability requiring logon to Operating System plus additional login/authentication to component or subcomponent. Successful attack of this vulnerability can escalate attacker privileges resulting in unauthorized Operating System takeover including arbitrary code execution. (CVE-2015-4837) - Vulnerability in the Solaris component of Oracle Sun Systems Products Suite (subcomponent: Solaris Kernel Zones). The supported version that is affected is 11.2. Easily exploitable vulnerability requiring logon to Operating System. Successful attack of this vulnerability can result in unauthorized ability to cause a hang or frequently repeatable crash (complete DOS) of Solaris as well as update, insert or delete access to some Solaris accessible data and read access to a subset of Solaris accessible data.
