Discussion

Solaris non-global zones can be assigned physical hardware devices. This increases the risk of such a non-global zone having the capability to compromise the global zone.

Check Content

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.

List the non-global zones on the system.

# zoneadm list -vi | grep -v global

List the configuration for each zone.

# zonecfg -z [zonename] info | grep dev

Check for device lines. If such a line exists and is not approved by security, this is a finding.
