CVE-2006-4117

5.4 MEDIUM 2% exploit odds Fix listed

What it is

The squeue_drain function in Sun Solaris 10, possibly only when run on CMT processors, allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service ("bad trap" and system panic) by opening and closing a large number of TCP connections ("heavy TCP/IP loads"). NOTE: the original report specifies the function name as "drain_squeue," but this is likely incorrect.

Exploitability: Can be exploited over the network without logging in. High risk of service disruption.
Exploit odds: 1.6% chance of exploitation in the next 30 days (EPSS).
