Description:
A vulnerability has been reported in Sun Solaris, which can be exploited by malicious, local users to cause a DoS (Denial of Service).

The vulnerability is caused due to an unspecified error in the Solaris Platform Information and Control Library daemon (picld(1M)), which can be exploited to disable system monitoring and prevent system utilities (e.g. prtdiag(1M), prtpicl(1M), and prtfru(1M)) from operating properly.
