Vulnerability in the Solaris component of Oracle Sun Systems Products Suite (subcomponent: Kernel Zones virtualized NIC driver). The supported version that is affected is 11.3. Easily "exploitable" vulnerability allows low privileged attacker with network access via multiple protocols to compromise Solaris. While the vulnerability is in Solaris, attacks may significantly impact additional products. Successful attacks of this vulnerability can result in unauthorized ability to cause a hang or frequently repeatable crash (complete DOS) of Solaris. CVSS 3.0 Base Score 7.7 (Availability impacts). CVSS Vector: (CVSS:3.0/AV:N/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:C/C:N/I:N/A:H).

Security readout for executives and security teams

CVE-2017-3516 is a denial-of-service flaw in Oracle Solaris 11.3 Kernel Zones virtualized NIC driver. A low-privileged attacker with network access could make Solaris hang or repeatedly crash, disrupting systems and dependent products. Exposure is most likely on Solaris 11.3 deployments using Kernel Zones and virtualized NIC functionality, especially where low-privileged users or services have network paths to affected systems. Treat this as high priority for Solaris 11.3 systems that support important workloads. The primary business risk is outage or repeated service disruption, so remediation urgency depends on system criticality and network exposure. Mitigation focus: Review Oracle April 2017 Critical Patch Update guidance for Solaris fixes.; Apply applicable Oracle Solaris security updates after change testing.; Reduce untrusted network access to affected Solaris 11.3 Kernel Zones..
