Sun Solaris KSSL kernel module denial of service
| solaris-kssl-dos (35126) |  Low Risk |
Description:
Sun Solaris is vulnerable to a denial of service, caused by improper handling of memory buffers containing Secure Socket Layer (SSL) records by the KSSL kernel module. If the KSSL service is enabled, a remote attacker could exploit this vulnerability to cause a kernel panic.
