Description
Vulnerability in the Oracle Solaris product of Oracle Systems (component: X Window System). The supported version that is affected is 11.4. Easily exploitable vulnerability allows low privileged attacker with logon to the infrastructure where Oracle Solaris executes to compromise Oracle Solaris. Successful attacks of this vulnerability can result in unauthorized update, insert or delete access to some of Oracle Solaris accessible data as well as unauthorized read access to a subset of Oracle Solaris accessible data and unauthorized ability to cause a partial denial of service (partial DOS) of Oracle Solaris. CVSS 3.1 Base Score 5.3 (Confidentiality, Integrity and Availability impacts). CVSS Vector: (CVSS:3.1/AV:L/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:L/I:L/A:L).

Score: 5.3 Medium
EPSS: < 1% Very Low
KEV: No
Impact: Unauthorized data modification and partial denial of service
Action: Immediate Patch
AI Analysis

Impact

Vulnerability in the Oracle Solaris X Window System allows a low‑privileged user with logon rights to modify, insert, delete, or read data that should be protected. The flaw is an example of improper access control (CWE‑200) that enables attackers to bypass expected security boundaries for the Solaris system. Successful exploitation can lead to unauthorized data tampering, unauthorized data reads, and the ability to disrupt some system services, producing a partial denial of service.

Affected Systems

The affected product is Oracle Solaris 11.4 running the X Window System component. No other versions or products are listed as impacted.

Risk and Exploitability

The CVSS 3.1 base score of 5.3 reflects moderate impacts on confidentiality, integrity, and availability. The EPSS score is less than 1%, indicating a very low but nonzero probability of exploitation in the wild. The vulnerability is not listed in the CISA KEV catalog. Exfil requires a local login; no network access or additional user interaction beyond the initial logon is needed. Once the flaw is leveraged, an attacker can read and modify protected data and cause a partial denial of service.

Remediation

No solution or workaround provided in the CVE record.

OpenCVE Recommended Actions

  • Apply the latest Solaris 11.4 security patch from Oracle (CPU Oct 2026) to remove the X Window System vulnerability.
  • Restrict or disable the X Window System service on machines that do not require it to prevent local exploitation.
  • Implement strict local access controls (e.g., setuid checks, SELinux policies) to limit X server interactions to authenticated administrators.
  • Monitor local authentication and X server logs for anomalous activity to detect potential misuse.
