– Gravity: 1/4
– Consequences: denial of service of computer
– Provenance: user shell
– Means of attack: no proof of concept, no attack
– Ability of attacker: expert (4/4)
– Confidence: confirmed by the editor (5/5)
– Diffusion of the vulnerable configuration: medium (2/3)
– Creation date: 29/08/2008
– Identifier: VIGILANCE-VUL-8075
IMPACTED PRODUCTS
– Sun Solaris [confidential versions]
DESCRIPTION
The Solaris system can be installed on following platforms:
- Sun Netra T5220 Server
- SPARC Enterprise T5140 and T5240 Servers
However, the firmware version T5220-7.1.3 and T5x40-7.1.3.c has an
error in the CPU handling. Technical details are unknown.
A local attacker can therefore create a program in order to panic
the system.
