CVE-1999-0908

Summary

CVE-1999-0908 is a denial-of-service vulnerability affecting the Solaris TCP streams driver. A malicious connection can cause the server to panic by inducing recursive calls to the mutex_enter function. This can result in a denial-of-service condition, making the affected system unavailable to legitimate users. The vulnerability can be exploited by an unauthenticated attacker to cause the system to crash, potentially leading to a loss of availability and productivity. Systems running Solaris with the TCP streams driver should be patched to mitigate this risk.
