Sun Solaris 'sendfilev()' Local Denial of Service Vulnerability

The Sun Solaris 'sendfilev()' system call is prone to a local denial-of-service vulnerability.

A local unprivileged attacker can exploit this issue to trigger a system hang or panic, resulting in a denial-of-service condition.

This issue affects Solaris 10 and OpenSolaris versions prior to build snv_95 for SPARC and x86 platforms.
