CVE-2006-7028: Sun Solaris

High severity, CVSS 7.8. EPSS: 1.7% chance of exploitation in the next 30 days.

Single CPU Sun systems running Solaris 7, 8, or 9, such as Netra, allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (console hang) via a flood of small TCP/IP packets. NOTE: this issue has not been replicated by third parties. In addition, the cause is unknown, although it might be related to "jabber" and generation of a large amount of interrupts within the console, or a hardware error.

Affected products

  • Sun Solaris: version 9.0 only
  • Sun Sunos: version 5.7 only; version 5.8 only
