A vulnerability, which was classified as problematic, has been found in Sun OpenSolaris (Operating System). Affected by this issue is the function getldap_lookup of the component LDAP Client. The manipulation with an unknown input leads to a denial of service vulnerability. Using CWE to declare the problem leads to CWE-404. The product does not release or incorrectly releases a resource before it is made available for re-use. Impacted is availability. CVE summarizes:

Multiple unspecified vulnerabilities in ldap_cachemgr (aka the LDAP client configuration cache daemon) in Sun Solaris 9 and 10, and OpenSolaris before snv_78, allow local users to cause a denial of service (daemon crash) via vectors involving multiple serviceSearchDescriptor attributes and a call to the getldap_lookup function, and unspecified other vectors.

The weakness was disclosed 11/26/2009 (Website). The advisory is available at sunsolve.sun.com. This vulnerability is handled as CVE-2009-4080 since 11/27/2009. The exploitation is known to be easy. Local access is required to approach this attack. No form of authentication is required for exploitation. Technical details are known, but there is no available exploit.

It is declared as proof-of-concept. The vulnerability scanner Nessus provides a plugin with the ID 13526 (Solaris 9 (sparc) : 112960-70), which helps to determine the existence of the flaw in a target environment. It is assigned to the family Solaris Local Security Checks. The commercial vulnerability scanner Qualys is able to test this issue with plugin 116727 (Sun Solaris ldap_cachemgr Daemon Denial of Service Vulnerability (1018975.1)).
