Security readout for executives and security teams

CVE-2008-5111 is a local denial-of-service issue in Solaris 10 and certain OpenSolaris builds. A local user could trigger a system panic through the socket function when InfiniBand hardware is absent. The business impact is availability disruption on legacy Solaris hosts, not data theft or remote compromise based on the provided sources. Exposure is most likely on legacy Solaris 10 or OpenSolaris snv_57 through snv_91 systems that allow untrusted or broad local user access and do not have InfiniBand hardware installed. Address during legacy Unix risk reduction, with faster action for production Solaris systems hosting critical services or many local users. This is availability-focused and local-only based on current evidence. Mitigation focus: Inventory Solaris 10 and OpenSolaris snv_57 through snv_91 hosts.; Check Sun/Oracle advisory 242806 for vendor patch or workaround guidance.; Restrict local shell and application accounts to trusted users only..
