Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions Sun Solaris versions 9 and 10 OpenSolaris versions prior to snv 121

Description A race condition exists in the Solaris Auditing subsystem when extended file attributes are used, allowing local users to cause a denial of service (panic) via vectors related to pathnames for invalid file descriptors.

Recommendations For Sun Solaris versions 9 and 10, consider disabling the auditing subsystem as a temporary workaround until a patch is available. For OpenSolaris versions prior to snv 121, restrict access to extended file attributes to minimize the risk of exploitation.
