Information

The System packages must be up to date with the most recent vendor updates and security fixes.

GROUP ID: V-216280
RULE ID: SV-216280r959010

Failure to install security updates can provide openings for attack.

Solution

The Software Installation Profile is required.

An up-to-date Solaris repository must be accessible to the system. Enter the command:

# pkg publisher

to determine the current repository publisher. If a repository is not accessible, it may need to be locally installed and configured.

Update system packages to the current version.

# pfexec pkg update

A reboot may be required for the updates to take effect.
