Am I affected? How to checkSteps we derive from the advisory and the affected-version data, so you can decide whether this CVE reaches your setup. They are a guide, not a scan — your own configuration is the authority.
dbcve checksWork through these to decide whether this CVE applies to you.
-
Verify Oracle Sun Storage CAM installationLocate the Oracle Sun Storage Common Array Manager installation directory or check system services for CAM processes using commands like 'ps -ef | grep -i cam' or 'ls -la /opt/SUNWcam' if on Solaris, or check Windows services if on Windows.Affected if The software is not present on the system, the user is not affected.
-
Confirm CAM version is 6.9.0Check the installed version of Sun Storage Common Array Manager by examining the CAM software version via its management interface, CLI tool, or by running 'camVersion' or checking /opt/SUNWcam/version if the installation path is known.Affected if The installed version is 6.9.0 exactly, proceed to next check.
-
Determine if FMS component is enabledAccess the CAM administrative interface or configuration files to check whether the Fault Management System (FMS) component is enabled and accessible. FMS is typically available through the CAM web interface on port 6789 or configured management ports.Affected if FMS component is enabled and exposed, the system may be vulnerable.
-
Assess network exposure of CAM management interfacesReview network configuration and firewall rules to determine if CAM management ports (commonly 6789/tcp and related FMS ports) are exposed to untrusted networks or the internet.Affected if CAM interfaces including FMS are reachable from untrusted network segments, the vulnerability is exploitable.
The environment is affected if Oracle Sun Storage Common Array Manager version 6.9.0 is installed with the FMS component enabled and accessible on the network.
