descriptionThis Solaris system is missing necessary patches to address critical security updates : - Vulnerability in the Solaris component of Oracle Sun Systems Products Suite (subcomponent: Libc Library). The supported version that is affected is 11. Difficult to exploit vulnerability requiring logon to Operating System. Successful attack of this vulnerability can result in unauthorized update, insert or delete access to some Solaris accessible data and ability to cause a partial denial of service (partial DOS) of Solaris. (CVE-2016-0406) - Vulnerability in the Solaris component of Oracle Sun Systems Products Suite (subcomponent: Kernel DAX). The supported version that is affected is 11. Very difficult to exploit 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-2016-0458) - Vulnerability in the Solaris component of Oracle Sun Systems Products Suite (subcomponent: Kernel Cryptography). The supported version that is affected is 11. Difficult to exploit vulnerability requiring logon to Operating System. Successful attack of this vulnerability can result in unauthorized update, insert or delete access to some Solaris accessible data and ability to cause a partial denial of service (partial DOS) of Solaris. (CVE-2016-0493) - Vulnerability in the Solaris component of Oracle Sun Systems Products Suite (subcomponent: RPC). Supported versions that are affected are 10 and 11. Difficult to exploit vulnerability allows successful unauthenticated network attacks via RPC. Successful attack of this vulnerability can result in unauthorized ability to cause a partial denial of service (partial DOS) of Solaris. (CVE-2016-0535)
