tun in IP Tunnel in Solaris 10 and OpenSolaris snv_01 through snv_76 allows local users to cause a denial of service (panic) and possibly execute arbitrary code via a crafted SIOCGTUNPARAM IOCTL request, which triggers a NULL pointer dereference.

Security readout for executives and security teams

This is an old Solaris kernel flaw where a local user could crash the system and may be able to run code in kernel context. It affects Solaris 10 and early OpenSolaris builds. The main business risk is disruption or privilege escalation on legacy hosts that still allow local accounts or workloads. Exposure is most likely in legacy Solaris 10 or OpenSolaris snv_01 through snv_76 environments. Systems with local shell users, shared hosting, or untrusted workloads carry higher risk. Modern non-Solaris platforms are not identified as affected in the supplied sources. Treat this as a legacy-platform risk requiring targeted inventory and remediation. It is high impact on affected Solaris systems, but urgency depends on whether such hosts remain in use and whether untrusted local access exists. Mitigation focus: Check Sun Alert 242266 or current Oracle guidance for applicable fixes.; Inventory Solaris 10 and OpenSolaris snv_01 through snv_76 hosts.; Prioritize patching or retiring affected legacy systems with local users..
