Synopsis

The remote Solaris system is missing a security patch from CPU apr2018.

Description

This Solaris system is missing necessary patches to address a critical security update :

- Vulnerability in the Oracle Communications LSMS component of Oracle Communications Applications (subcomponent: Platform (Kernel)). Supported versions that are affected are 13.1, 13.2 and 13.3. Difficult to exploit vulnerability allows low privileged attacker with logon to the infrastructure where Oracle Communications LSMS executes to compromise Oracle Communications LSMS. While the vulnerability is in Oracle Communications LSMS, attacks may significantly impact additional products. Successful attacks of this vulnerability can result in unauthorized access to critical data or complete access to all Oracle Communications LSMS accessible data. (CVE-2017-5753)

Solution

Install the apr2018 CPU from the Oracle support website.
