Detailsinfo

A vulnerability was found in Oracle SPARC Enterprise M3000, SPARC Enterprise M4000, SPARC Enterprise M5000, SPARC Enterprise M8000 and SPARC Enterprise M9000. It has been classified as very critical. Affected is some unknown processing of the component XCP Firmware. The manipulation with an unknown input leads to a integer overflow vulnerability. CWE is classifying the issue as CWE-190. The product performs a calculation that can produce an integer overflow or wraparound, when the logic assumes that the resulting value will always be larger than the original value. This can introduce other weaknesses when the calculation is used for resource management or execution control. This is going to have an impact on confidentiality, integrity, and availability.
