The systems physical devices must not be assigned to non-global zones.

Rule version SOL-11.1-100030 · STIG v3 · 2026-08-19

Discussion

Solaris non-global zones can be assigned physical hardware devices. This increases the risk of such a non-global zone having the capability to compromise the global zone.

Check

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.

List the non-global zones on the system.

# zoneadm list -vi | grep -v global

List the configuration for each zone.

# zonecfg -z [zonename] info | grep dev

Check for device lines. If such a line exists and is not approved by security, this is a finding.

Fix

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.

The Zone Security profile is required:

Remove all device assignments from the non-global zone.

# pfexec zonecfg -z [zone] delete device [device]
