Sun Solaris 10 Malformed IPV6 Packets Denial of Service Vulnerability

Sun Solaris 10 is prone to a denial-of-service vulnerability. This issue arises on systems running Solaris 10 x64 without patch 118855-16.

The vendor has reported that local or remote users on affected computers may trigger a denial-of-service condition through malformed IPV6 network packets.

A successful exploit may allow attackers to crash the operating system, effectively denying
service.
