The security issues are caused due to errors within the handling of certain IOCTLs sent to the ATA disk driver, which can be exploited to cause a system panic. The security issues are reported in Sun Solaris 8, 9, and 10 for the x86 platform with ATA disks installed. The SPARC platform is not affected. SOLUTION: Apply patches. Sun Solaris 8: Apply patch 109798-04. http://sunsolve.sun.com/search/document.do?assetkey=urn:cds:docid:1-21-109798-04-1 Sun Solaris 9: Apply patch 117122-03: http://sunsolve.sun.com/search/document.do?assetkey=urn:cds:docid:1-21-117122-03-1 Sun Solaris 10: Apply patch 123779-02: http://sunsolve.sun.com/search/document.do?assetkey=urn:cds:docid:1-21-123779-02-1 PROVIDED AND/OR DISCOVERED BY: Reported by the vendor.
