Address Space Layout Randomization (ASLR) must be enabled.

Description
Modification of memory area can result in executable code vulnerabilities. ASLR can reduce the likelihood of these attacks. ASLR activates the randomization of key areas of the process such as stack, brk-based heap, memory mappings, and so forth.

Who does this work

10 NICE work roles and 9 EC-Council certifications.

This is an inference across published mappings, not a single claim by anyone. This check maps to a control, which maps to a Cybersecurity Framework outcome, which NIST assigns to the work roles below. EC-Council separately maps its certifications to those same roles.

A certification prepares someone for a role. It is not evidence that a holder is qualified, and neither NIST nor EC-Council has stated that any certification here addresses this check.

Work-role assignments published by NIST (NICE Framework Components 2.2.0 and the CSF 2.0 OLIR crosswalk). Certification mappings published by EC-Council.

Check Text (C-216207r959010_chk)

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. Determine if address space layout randomization is enabled. Determine the OS version you are currently securing:. # uname –v For Solaris 11, 11.1, 11.2, and 11.3: # sxadm info -p | grep aslr | grep enabled For Solaris 11.4 or newer: # sxadm status -p -o status aslr | grep enabled If no output is produced, this is a finding.

Fix Text (F-17443r373004_fix)

The root role is required. This action applies to the global zone only. Determine the zone that you are currently securing. # zonename If the command output is "global", this action applies. Enable address space layout randomization. # sxadm delcust aslr Enabling ASLR may affect the function or stability of some applications, including those that use Solaris Intimate Shared Memory features.
