Sun has announced that some patches released for Solaris may in fact present a new security weakness. The problem is said to cause the auditing functionality of the Basic Security Module (BSM) to be disabled. The issue presents itself on Solaris 9 systems with Basic Security Module (BSM) enabled and either patch 114332-08 for SPARC or 114929-06 for x86 installed. Sun has reported that patch 114332-08 for SPARC can be replaced with patch 114332-10 and another patch will be released to address this issue in x86.
