The PK11_SESSION cache in the OpenSSL PKCS#11 engine in Sun Solaris 10 does not maintain reference counts for operations with asymmetric keys, which allows context-dependent attackers to cause a denial of service (failed cryptographic operations) via unspecified vectors, related to the (1) RSA_sign and (2) RSA_verify functions.

Security readout for executives and security teams

A flaw in the Solaris 10 OpenSSL PKCS#11 engine can make cryptographic signing or verification operations fail. That can break services relying on those operations, creating a denial-of-service condition. The public record does not provide CVSS, affected patch levels, or detailed trigger conditions. Exposure is most likely limited to legacy Sun Solaris 10 systems using the OpenSSL PKCS#11 engine for RSA signing or verification. The bundle does not identify other products, versions, or configurations. Treat this as a legacy-platform availability risk. It is not supported by evidence of active exploitation, but affected cryptographic services can fail and disrupt business operations. Mitigation focus: Identify Solaris 10 systems using the OpenSSL PKCS#11 engine.; Review the linked Sun advisories for applicable patches or vendor guidance.; Prioritize systems where RSA signing or verification supports critical services..
