Technical description

The Virtual Network Terminal Server daemon (vntsd) for Logical Domains (aka LDoms) in Sun Solaris 10, and OpenSolaris snv_41 through snv_108, on SPARC platforms does not check authorization for guest console access, which allows local control-domain users to gain guest-domain privileges via unknown vectors.

Remediation

If immediate patching is not possible, review the CVSS vector to understand the attack surface and apply compensating controls such as network segmentation or access restrictions.
