I've got a NVS 510 and a quadro k2200 that I can test it with.

I was trying to use a KVM switch the other day, and I suppose this issue 
is why I had to force a shutdown(power btn) of OI every time I had 
switched to another machine and back again. Mouse and keyboard were 
unresponsive but powered up.

Potentially this is  a lot worse than automounting of usb devices not 
working IMO.

Hi guys,

I'd like to take a crack at updating the OI documentation. Who should I 
talk to regarding priorites etc.?


Thanks,

Just brainstorming here:
How about just Indiana or jONEs(hehe, from Sun ONE and Indiana Jones) or 
OpenSun or SunOp(as in dawn, but referring to Operating system) or 
SolsticeOS(yup, Sun actually had Solstice Backup and other stuff, but 
AFAIK not an OS with that name).

I've actually always thought that OpenIndiana was a good name, but way 
too long.

[oi-dev] CVE-2021-3156 seems relevant for OI

[Tony Brian Albers]

On a freshly installed and updated OI:

tba@emu:~$ sudoedit -s /
Password:
sudoedit: /: not a regular file    Should be 'usage:'
tba@emu:~$

It's explained here:
https://blog.qualys.com/vulnerabilities-research/2021/01/26/cve-2021-3156-heap-based-buffer-overflow-in-sudo-baron-samedit

We might want to get sudo patched really, really quickly.

Thanks for the added instructions. Although most members on this list 
probably know this by heart, I'm very happy that you take the time to 
include it for us who are not as knowing about SunOS>5.9
