Multiple memory leaks in the (1) IP and (2) IPv6 multicast implementation in the kernel in Sun Solaris 10, and OpenSolaris snv_67 through snv_93, allow local users to cause a denial of service (memory consumption) via vectors related to the association of (a) DL_ENABMULTI_REQ and (b) DL_DISABMULTI_REQ messages with ARP messages.

Security readout for executives and security teams

This CVE is an availability risk in Solaris kernel multicast handling. A local user could trigger memory leaks that consume system memory and potentially degrade or stop service. It matters most on Solaris 10 or affected OpenSolaris systems that allow local shell or application user access. Exposure is likely limited to legacy Solaris 10 and OpenSolaris snv_67 through snv_93 hosts where local users or processes can interact with affected networking paths. Treat this as a legacy-platform availability issue. It is not supported here as remotely exploitable or actively exploited, but affected critical Solaris systems with local users should be reviewed and patched according to vendor guidance. Mitigation focus: Identify Solaris 10 and affected OpenSolaris hosts.; Review Sun/Oracle advisory and patch references for applicable fixes.; Restrict local user access on affected systems..
