Sun Solaris SCTP denial of service
| sun-solaris-sctp-dos (42160) |  Medium Risk |
Description:
Sun Solaris is vulnerable to a denial of service, caused by an unspecified error in the SCTP protocol. A remote attacker could exploit this vulnerability via specially-crafted SCTP packets to panic the system cause the network device to hang.
