Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions Sun Solaris versions 8 through 10 OpenSolaris versions prior to snv 82

Description The issue is related to the IP implementation, which improperly allocates minor numbers for sockets. This can be exploited by local users to cause a denial of service, resulting in 32-bit application failure and login outage, by opening a large number of sockets.

Recommendations For Sun Solaris versions 8 through 10, consider restricting socket usage to prevent denial of service. For OpenSolaris versions prior to snv 82, consider upgrading to a version after snv 82 to resolve the issue. At the moment, there is no information about additional mitigation measures for these versions.
