The IP implementation in Sun Solaris 8 through 10, and OpenSolaris before snv_82, uses an improper arena when allocating minor numbers for sockets, which allows local users to cause a denial of service (32-bit application failure and login outage) by opening a large number of sockets.

Security readout for executives and security teams

This is a legacy Solaris availability flaw. A local user on affected Solaris or OpenSolaris systems could open many sockets and trigger failures in 32-bit applications and logins. The sources do not show remote exploitation, data theft, or active exploitation. Exposure is mainly legacy Solaris 8, 9, 10, and OpenSolaris builds before snv_82 where untrusted or compromised local users can run processes. Internet-facing exposure is not supported by the provided sources. Prioritize remediation where affected Solaris hosts support shared users, critical operations, or administrative login paths. For isolated, fully trusted legacy systems, handle through normal legacy-platform risk reduction. Mitigation focus: Apply the relevant Sun/Oracle Solaris patch or update from vendor guidance.; Upgrade OpenSolaris systems to snv_82 or later where applicable.; Limit untrusted local shell or application user access on affected systems..
