CVE-2008-2710: Sun Opensolaris

High severity, CVSS 7.2. EPSS: 0.6% chance of exploitation in the next 30 days.

Integer signedness error in the ip_set_srcfilter function in the IP Multicast Filter in uts/common/inet/ip/ip_multi.c in the kernel in Sun Solaris 10 and OpenSolaris before snv_92 allows local users to execute arbitrary code in other Solaris Zones via an SIOCSIPMSFILTER IOCTL request with a large value of the imsf->imsf_numsrc field, which triggers an out-of-bounds write of kernel memory. NOTE: this was reported as an integer overflow, but the root cause involves the bypass of a signed comparison.

Affected products

  • Sun Opensolaris: version 10 only
  • Sun Solaris: up to and including 10
  • Sun Sunos: up to and including -
