CVE-2008-2710: Integer signedness error in the ip_set_srcfilter function in the IP Multicast Filter in uts/common/inet/ip/...

Integer signedness error in the ip_set_srcfilter function in the IP Multicast Filter in uts/common/inet/ip/ip_multi.c in the kernel in Sun Solaris 10 and OpenSolaris before snv_92 allows local users to execute arbitrary code in other Solaris Zones via an SIOCSIPMSFILTER IOCTL request with a large value of the imsf->imsf_numsrc field, which triggers an out-of-bounds write of kernel memory. NOTE: this was reported as an integer overflow, but the root cause involves the bypass of a signed comparison.

Security readout for executives and security teams

CVE-2008-2710 is a Solaris kernel flaw that can let a local user break zone isolation and run arbitrary code in another Solaris Zone. It is not a remote internet-facing bug, but it matters where legacy Solaris hosts run shared workloads or allow untrusted local access. Exposure is most likely on legacy Sun Solaris 10 systems and OpenSolaris builds before snv_92, especially multi-tenant hosts using Solaris Zones. Systems without local users, shell access, or untrusted zone workloads have lower practical exposure. Treat this as high priority for legacy Solaris estates with shared users or zones. It is less urgent than a remotely exploitable internet-facing bug, but the potential to cross zone boundaries can undermine workload isolation on critical hosts. Mitigation focus: Check the Sun/Oracle advisory for the applicable Solaris 10 patch level.; Upgrade OpenSolaris systems to snv_92 or later where applicable.; Remove or isolate untrusted local user access on affected hosts..
