CVE-2009-0304

Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions Sun Solaris versions 10 and 11 snv 101b OpenSolaris versions prior to snv 108

Description The issue allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service, resulting in a system crash, by sending a crafted IPv6 packet. This is related to insufficient validation.

Recommendations For Sun Solaris versions 10 and 11 snv 101b, consider restricting access to IPv6 packets until a fix is available. For OpenSolaris versions prior to snv 108, avoid using IPv6 functionality until the issue is resolved. As a temporary workaround, consider disabling IPv6 support to minimize the risk of exploitation.
