Official description Straight from the sourceThe vendor's or NVD's own wording, published unedited. Authoritative, but often terse — it says what broke, rarely what to do.

NVD · unedited
Unspecified vulnerability in the Solaris Cluster component in Oracle and Sun Systems Products Suite 3.3 allows local users to affect confidentiality, integrity, and availability via unknown vectors related to HA for TimesTen.

Technical summary Written by usOur analysis, written from the advisory, the CVSS vector and the affected-version data. It adds context the advisory leaves out, and never invents facts that are not in the source.

dbcve analysis · moderate confidence

CVE-2013-3754 is a local privilege vulnerability in Solaris Cluster 3.3's High Availability (HA) for TimesTen component. The vulnerability allows local users to impact confidentiality, integrity, and availability through unspecified vectors in the TimesTen HA integration, indicating likely privilege escalation or code execution within the cluster environment.

MitigationApply Oracle Critical Patch Update (CPU) patches for July 2013 or later that address CVE-2013-3754. If patches are unavailable, evaluate whether the HA for TimesTen component can be disabled or isolated until a fix is available.

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 checks

Work through these to decide whether this CVE applies to you.

  1. Verify Solaris Cluster 3.3 is installed
    Run 'cluster show' or check cluster version using 'scstat -g' to confirm the installed Oracle Solaris Cluster version
    Affected if The system is running Solaris Cluster version 3.3 exactly
  2. Identify HA for TimesTen component presence
    Check for TimesTen HA packages using 'pkginfo | grep -i timesten' or query the cluster configuration for TimesTen resources using 'scconf' or 'scrgadm' commands
    Affected if The HA for TimesTen component packages or resources are installed on the system
  3. Confirm TimesTen HA resource is configured
    List HA resources with 'scrgadm -p' or 'scstat -r' and look for TimesTen-related resource types or resource groups
    Affected if A TimesTen HA resource or resource group is configured and active in the cluster

The environment is affected if running Solaris Cluster 3.3 with the HA for TimesTen component installed and configured.
