Title: Sun Solaris NFS Server Unspecified Remote Denial Of Service Vulnerability
Severity: MODERATE
Description:
Solaris is the freely available, open source UNIX operating system distributed by Sun Microsystems.
A problem has been identified in the handling of some types of NFS requests by Sun Solaris. Because of this, it may be possible for a remote user to deny service to legitimate users of a vulnerable system.
The problem is in the handling of specific types of UFS file system requests. By sending an invalid request to a system sharing UFS file systems via NFS, it is possible to force the host into a UFS panic, resulting in a system kernel panic.
In depth technical details are not currently available concerning this issue. This Bugtraq ID will be updated when further information becomes available.
Affected Products:
- Sun Solaris 7.0
- Sun Solaris 7.0_x86
- Sun Solaris 8
