IMPACT:
DoS

WHERE:

OPERATING SYSTEM:

http://secunia.com/product/4813/

DESCRIPTION:
A vulnerability has been reported in Sun Solaris, which can be
exploited by malicious users to cause a DoS (Denial of Service).

The vulnerability is caused due to an unspecified error related to
the "sendfilev()" system call and can be exploited to cause a system
panic, e.g. by a local user via a specially crafted program or by
creating a specially crafted web page that is being hosted on Apache
2.2.x.

Successful exploitation via Apache web pages requires that Apache is
compiled without certain unspecified compiler switches.

NOTE: Reportedly, Apache 2.x shipped with Solaris will not trigger
this vulnerability.

The vulnerability is reported on Solaris 10 for both the SPARC and
x86 platforms.

SOLUTION:
