SV-60715r1_rule The systems physical devices must not be assigned to non-global zones.

Vulnerability discussion

Solaris non-global zones can be assigned physical hardware devices. This increases the risk of such a non-global zone having the capability to compromise the global zone.

Check content

This check applies to the global zone only. Determine the zone that you are currently securing. # zonename If the command output is "global", this check applies. List the non-global zones on the system. # zoneadm list -vi | grep -v global List the configuration for each zone. # zonecfg -z [zonename] info | grep dev Check for device lines. If such a line exists and is not approved by security, this is a finding.

Fix text

This check applies to the global zone only. Determine the zone that you are currently securing. # zonename If the command output is "global", this check applies. The Zone Security profile is required: Remove all device assignments from the non-global zone. # pfexec zonecfg -z [zone] delete device [device]

Pro Tips

Lavender hyperlinks in small type off to the right (of CSS class id, if you view the page source) point to globally unique URIs for each document and item. Copy the link location and paste anywhere you need to talk unambiguously about these things.

You can obtain data about documents and items in other formats. Simply provide an HTTP header Accept: text/turtle or Accept: application/rdf+xml.
