Vulnerability in the Solaris component of Oracle Sun Systems Products Suite (subcomponent: Kernel). The supported version that is affected is 11.3. Easily exploitable vulnerability allows low privileged attacker with logon to the infrastructure where Solaris executes to compromise Solaris. Successful attacks require human interaction from a person other than the attacker. 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 5.0 (Availability impacts). CVSS Vector: (CVSS:3.0/AV:L/AC:L/PR:L/UI:R/S:U/C:N/I:N/A:H).

Security readout for executives and security teams

CVE-2018-2808 is a denial-of-service flaw in the Solaris kernel affecting Oracle Solaris 11.3. A low-privileged logged-in user could trigger a hang or repeated crash, but the attack is local and requires another person's interaction. The business impact is service disruption, not data theft or tampering based on the provided sources. Exposure is limited to Oracle Solaris 11.3 systems where low-privileged users can log on locally or through equivalent infrastructure access. Internet-only exposure is not indicated by the CVSS vector or description. Treat this as a moderate operational availability risk. It is most urgent for critical Solaris 11.3 servers with multiple local users or delegated shell access. It is less urgent than remotely exploitable or data-impacting vulnerabilities, but should be remediated through normal patch governance. Mitigation focus: Review Oracle's April 2018 Critical Patch Update guidance for Solaris 11.3 remediation.; Apply the Solaris fixes identified by Oracle for CVE-2018-2808.; Restrict low-privileged interactive access on affected Solaris systems where possible..
