Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions Sun Solaris 10

Description The issue allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service, resulting in a system panic, by opening and closing a large number of TCP connections, thus creating heavy TCP/IP loads. This is possibly related to the squeue drain function when run on CMT processors.

Recommendations For Sun Solaris 10, consider restricting heavy TCP/IP loads to minimize the risk of exploitation. As a temporary workaround, limiting the number of TCP connections may help mitigate the issue until a more permanent solution is available. At the moment, there is no information about a newer version that contains a fix for this vulnerability.
