Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions Sun Solaris versions 8 through 10 OpenSolaris versions prior to snv 103

Description A race condition exists in the pseudo-terminal driver module, allowing local users to cause a denial of service via unspecified vectors related to a lack of properly sequenced code in ptc and ptsl.

Recommendations For Sun Solaris versions 8 through 10, update to a version outside of the affected range. For OpenSolaris versions prior to snv 103, update to version snv 103 or later. As a temporary workaround, consider restricting access to the pseudo-terminal driver module to minimize the risk of exploitation.
