Description: Sun has reported a vulnerability in Solaris, which can be exploited by malicious, local users to cause a DoS (Denial of Service). The vulnerability is caused due to a race condition in the kernel during high loads when working as a print server. This can according to Sun be exploited by running a malicious application, which uses the "pipe()" system call and certain STREAMS routines. The vulnerability affects versions 2.6 through 9 on all platforms. Solution: Apply patches. -- SPARC Platform -- Solaris 2.6: http://sunsolve.sun.com/pub-cgi/findPatch.pl?patchId=114941&rev=01 Solaris 7: http://sunsolve.sun.com/pub-cgi/findPatch.pl?patchId=114944&rev=01 Solaris 8: http://sunsolve.sun.com/pub-cgi/findPatch.pl?patchId=114984&rev=01 Solaris 9: http://sunsolve.sun.com/pub-cgi/findPatch.pl?patchId=114971&rev=01 -- x86 Platform -- Solaris 2.6: http://sunsolve.sun.com/pub-cgi/findPatch.pl?patchId=114942&rev=01 Solaris 7: http://sunsolve.sun.com/pub-cgi/findPatch.pl?patchId=114945&rev=01 Solaris 8: http://sunsolve.sun.com/pub-cgi/findPatch.pl?patchId=114985&rev=01 Solaris 9: http://sunsolve.sun.com/pub-cgi/findPatch.pl?patchId=114972&rev=01 Original Advisory: http://sunsolve.sun.com/pub-cgi/retrieve.pl?doc=fsalert/57080
