SOL-11.1-020010 - The System packages must be up to date with the most recent vendor updates and security fixes.

Information

Failure to install security updates can provide openings for attack.

Solution

The Software Installation Profile is required.

An up-to-date Solaris repository must be accessible to the system. Enter the command:

# pkg publisher

to determine the current repository publisher. If a repository is not accessible, it may need to be locally installed and configured.

Update system packages to the current version.

# pfexec pkg update

A reboot may be required for the updates to take effect.
