Sun Solaris 8.0/9.0/10.0 Filesystem input validation

CVSS Meta Temp Score
CVSS is a standardized scoring system to determine possibilities of attacks. The Temp Score considers temporal factors like disclosure, exploit and countermeasures. The unique Meta Score calculates the average score of different sources to provide a normalized scoring system.
Current Exploit Price (≈)
Our analysts are monitoring exploit markets and are in contact with vulnerability brokers. The range indicates the observed or calculated exploit price to be seen on exploit markets. A good indicator to understand the monetary effort required for and the popularity of an attack.
CTI Interest Score
Our Cyber Threat Intelligence team is monitoring different web sites, mailing lists, exploit markets and social media networks. The CTI Interest Score identifies the interest of attackers and the security community for this specific vulnerability in real-time. A high score indicates an elevated risk to be targeted for this vulnerability.

Detailsinfo

A vulnerability, which was classified as critical, was found in Sun Solaris 8.0/9.0/10.0 (Operating System). Affected is an unknown function of the component Filesystem. The manipulation with an unknown input leads to a input validation vulnerability. CWE is classifying the issue as CWE-20. The product receives input or data, but it does not validate or incorrectly validates that the input has the properties that are required to process the data safely and correctly. This is going to have an impact on availability. CVE summarizes:

Unspecified vulnerability in the Sun Solaris RPC services library (librpcsvc) on Solaris 8 through 10 allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (mountd crash) via unspecified packets to a server that exports many filesystems, and allows local users to cause a denial of service (automountd crash) via unspecified requests to mount filesystems from a server that exports many filesystems.

The bug was discovered 10/13/2007. The weakness was published 10/13/2007 (Website). The advisory is available at vupen.com. This vulnerability is traded as CVE-2007-5462 since 10/15/2007. The exploitability is told to be easy. It is possible to launch the attack remotely. The exploitation doesn't require any form of authentication. The technical details are unknown and an exploit is not available.

It is declared as proof-of-concept. The vulnerability scanner Nessus provides a plugin with the ID 27091 (Solaris 9 (sparc) : 123396-01), which helps to determine the existence of the flaw in a target environment.
