CVE-2006-4117: Sun Solaris

Medium severity, CVSS 5.4. EPSS: 1.6% chance of exploitation in the next 30 days.

The squeue_drain function in Sun Solaris 10, possibly only when run on CMT processors, allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service ("bad trap" and system panic) by opening and closing a large number of TCP connections ("heavy TCP/IP loads"). NOTE: the original report specifies the function name as "drain_squeue," but this is likely incorrect.

Affected products

• Sun Solaris: version 10.0 only
