Vulnerability Name:

CVE-2006-4117 (CCN-28321)

Assigned:2006-08-09
Published:2006-08-09
Updated:2017-07-20
Summary: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.
It is reportedly unlikely that this affects systems not using CMT processors.
