Solaris admins! Look out – working remote root exploit leaked in Shadow Brokers dump

Re: Old is new again?

The specific Solaris 9 patches (122300-70) was released on 26 Feb *2015*; more than two

years ago. I think most hardware supported in Solaris 9 would also run Solaris 10 and

Solaris 10 is still supported.

Oracle reveals 32-core, 10 BEEELLION-transistor SPARC M7

Re: Cache size

There is no relation between the Fujitsu M10 systems (which have a SPARC64 CPU) and the

Sun/Oracle Mx/Tx chips. What changed with the M10 is that it now also uses the sun4v architecture; i.e, a SPARC system with a Hypervisor. This makes the systems look more similar from an admin perspective.
