CVE-2005-0248
HighSummary
The vulnerability in the Solaris Management Console (SMC) GUI for Solaris 8 and 9 causes user accounts configured for password aging to be created with a blank password, allowing remote or local attackers to break into those accounts.
Risk Assessment
The risk is that attackers can gain unauthorized access to the system through accounts with blank passwords, potentially leading to compromise of data confidentiality, integrity, and availability.
Recommendation
It is recommended to immediately apply vendor patches and manually verify and set strong passwords for all accounts created via SMC with password aging enabled.
