Unspecified vulnerability in Sun Solaris 10 and OpenSolaris before snv_96 allows (1) context-dependent attackers to cause a denial of service (panic) via vectors involving creation of a crafted file and use of the sendfilev system call, as demonstrated by a file served by an Apache 2.2.x web server with EnableSendFile configured; and (2) local users to cause a denial of service (panic) via a call to the sendfile system call, as reachable through the sendfilev library.

Security readout for executives and security teams

This flaw can crash affected Sun Solaris systems, causing denial of service. The clearest business risk is outage on legacy Solaris 10 or OpenSolaris systems, especially servers exposing file-serving paths that use sendfile behavior. The sources do not show data theft, privilege escalation, or confirmed active exploitation. Exposure is most likely on legacy Solaris 10 and OpenSolaris before snv_96 hosts. Internet-facing Apache 2.2.x servers with EnableSendFile configured deserve priority review. Multi-user Solaris systems also have local denial-of-service exposure. Treat this as a legacy infrastructure availability risk. It is not marked as actively exploited, but affected internet-facing or shared Solaris systems could crash and disrupt business services. Prioritize discovery and vendor patch verification over emergency response. Mitigation focus: Inventory Solaris 10 and OpenSolaris systems still in service.; Check Sun Alert 239186 or Oracle guidance for exact Solaris 10 fixes.; Upgrade OpenSolaris systems older than snv_96 where applicable..
