Sun Solaris DHCP Denial of Service And Remote Code Execution Vulnerabilities

The DHCP server daemon in Sun Solaris is prone to multiple vulnerabilities.

Attackers can exploit these issues to execute arbitrary code with root privileges or cause the DHCP server daemon to crash. Successful exploits may completely compromise the vulnerable system.

Note that one of the issues is related to the issue described in BID 25984.

These issues affect the following on both x86 and SPARC platforms:

Solaris 8
Solaris 9
Solaris 10
OpenSolaris based on builds snv_01 through snv_102
