1.213 SOL-11.1-100020

Information

The limitpriv zone option must be set to the vendor default or less permissive.

GROUP ID: V-216475
RULE ID: SV-216475r959010

Solaris zones can be assigned privileges generally reserved for the global zone using the "limitpriv" zone option. Any privilege assignments in excess of the vendor defaults may provide the ability for a non-global zone to compromise the global zone.

Solution

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:

Change the "limitpriv" setting to default.

# pfexec zonecfg -z [zone] set limitpriv=default
