Multiple unspecified vulnerabilities in ldap_cachemgr (aka the LDAP client configuration cache daemon) in Sun Solaris 9 and 10, and OpenSolaris before snv_78, allow local users to cause a denial of service (daemon crash) via vectors involving multiple serviceSearchDescriptor attributes and a call to the getldap_lookup function, and unspecified other vectors.

Security readout for executives and security teams

CVE-2009-4080 is an older local denial-of-service issue in Sun Solaris LDAP client caching. A user with local access could crash ldap_cachemgr, potentially disrupting LDAP name service lookups and dependent logins or applications. The public record does not show remote compromise or data theft. Exposure is most relevant to legacy Solaris 9, Solaris 10, and pre-snv_78 OpenSolaris systems using LDAP client services. Internet exposure is not indicated because the described attacker is local. Prioritize remediation on legacy Solaris systems supporting authentication, directory lookups, or business-critical applications. This is not evidenced as an internet-scale emergency, but local DoS on identity-dependent infrastructure can cause operational disruption. Mitigation focus: Check Oracle/Sun advisory and patch guidance for affected Solaris releases.; Apply applicable vendor patches or upgrade unsupported Solaris/OpenSolaris systems.; Limit local interactive access to trusted users only..
