What happened
A flaw in the Image Packaging System component of Oracle Solaris lets an unauthenticated attacker reach the system over HTTP and compromise it, with full impact on confidentiality, integrity and availability.
Are you affected?
You are affected if you run Oracle Solaris 11.3 or 11.4 with the Image Packaging System reachable over HTTP from a network you do not fully trust.
Oracle Solaris 11.3 and 11.4 (supported versions)
What to do
- Check whether the Image Packaging System HTTP service is reachable from untrusted networks and restrict access to it with a firewall
- Apply the Oracle Solaris security update for the Image Packaging System from Oracle's official advisory
- Review the server for unexpected changes or access if it was exposed
