Description:
Sun has acknowledged a security issue in Sun Solaris, which can be exploited by malicious, local users to cause a DoS (Denial of Service).
The security issue is caused due to the "strfreectty()" function of the Special File System (SPECFS) passing a NULL pointer to the "pgsignal()" function, which can be exploited to cause a system panic.
The security issue is reported in Sun Solaris 8, 9, and 10 for both the x86 and SPARC platform.
