Detail

Product: Solaris 10 Operating System OpenSolaris
Due to a security vulnerability in Solaris, usage of the
pthread_mutex_reltimedlock_np(3C) API by a local unprivileged user
or by an application, when the API is used in a particular way, can
cause the system to hang or, if the deadman feature is enabled, to
panic.


This leads to a Denial of Service (DoS) condition.
