Description:
Some vulnerabilities have been reported in Solaris, which potentially can be exploited by malicious people to cause a DoS (Denial of Service).
The vulnerabilities are caused due to unspecified errors in the event port API and can be exploited by malicious, local users to run an application using the API in such a way that the system crashes.
On systems running e.g. Apache2, it may be possible for malicious people to crash the system (the Apache2 web server distributed with Solaris 10 in the SUNWapch2d and SUNWapch2u packages is, however, not affected).
Solution:
Apply patches.
-- SPARC Platform --
Solaris 10:
Apply patch 118833-12 or later.
-- x86 Platform --
Solaris 10:
Apply patch 118855-10 or later.
Provided and/or discovered by:
Reported by the vendor.
Changelog:
2006-07-28: Added CVE reference.
