CVE-2007-2990: Unspecified vulnerability in inetd in Sun Solaris 10 before 20070529 allows local users to cause a denial o...

Security readout for executives and security teams

This is an old Solaris 10 issue where a local user could crash inetd, a service supervisor. The likely business impact is service disruption on affected legacy Solaris systems, not data theft or remote takeover based on the provided sources. Exposure appears limited to Solaris 10 systems running inetd builds before the vendor-corrected 2007-05-29 level. Systems without local untrusted users have lower practical exposure. Treat as legacy hygiene unless Solaris 10 remains business-critical or shared with untrusted local users. Prioritize remediation where inetd-managed services support production operations. Mitigation focus: Identify any Solaris 10 hosts still in production.; Check vendor advisory 102921 for exact corrected packages or patches.; Update inetd/Solaris 10 to the vendor-corrected 2007-05-29 level or later..
