CVE-1999-1118

Summary

CVE-1999-1118 is a vulnerability affecting the Network File System (NFS) daemon (ndd) in Solaris 2.6. This issue permits local users to manipulate specific TCP/IP parameters, resulting in a denial of service condition. By tampering with these settings, an attacker can cause the system to become unresponsive or crash, making it unavailable for legitimate use. This vulnerability poses a significant risk for systems that run Solaris 2.6 and have NFS enabled, as it can be exploited without requiring network access or special privileges. To mitigate this threat, users should upgrade their Solaris installation to a more recent and secure version.
