Detail

Product: Solaris 8 Operating System Solaris 9 Operating System Solaris 10 Operating System OpenSolaris

Security vulnerability within the Solaris IP(7p) (Internet Protocol) implementation related to the allocation of minor numbers may allow a local unprivileged user to open a large number of sockets, thereby resulting in a Denial of Service (DoS) condition to 32-bit applications. Depending on the system configuration, this may in turn affect the system as a whole, for example it may prevent new logins from completing successfully.

Title: Security Vulnerability in the Solaris IP(7p) Implementation, Related to Minor Number Allocation, may Lead to a Denial of Service (DoS) Condition
Description: The IP implementation in Sun Solaris 8 through 10, and OpenSolaris before snv_82, uses an improper arena when allocating minor numbers for sockets, which allows local users to cause a denial of service (32-bit application failure and login outage) by opening a large number of sockets.
