  - Vulnerability in the Solaris component of Oracle Sun
    Products Suite (subcomponent: Kernel). Supported
    versions that are affected are 10 and 11. Difficult to
    exploit vulnerability requiring logon to Operating
    System. Successful attack of this vulnerability can
    result in unauthorized Operating System hang or
    frequently repeatable crash (complete DOS). Note:
    CVE-2012-3212 affects only Solaris on SPARC T4 servers.
    (CVE-2012-3212)

  - Vulnerability in the Solaris component of Oracle Sun
    Products Suite (subcomponent: mailx(1)). Supported
    versions that are affected are 8, 9, 10 and 11. Easily
    exploitable vulnerability requiring logon to Operating
    System. Successful attack of this vulnerability can
    result in unauthorized update, insert or delete access
    to some Solaris accessible data as well as read access
    to a subset of Solaris accessible data. (CVE-2012-3165)

  - Vulnerability in the Solaris component of Oracle Sun
    Products Suite (subcomponent: Kernel). Supported
    versions that are affected are 10 and 11. Easily
    exploitable vulnerability requiring logon to Operating
    System plus additional login/authentication to component
    or subcomponent. Successful attack of this vulnerability
    can escalate attacker privileges resulting in
    unauthorized read access to a subset of Solaris
    accessible data. Note: CVE-2012-3209 and CVE-2012-3215
    only affects Solaris on the SPARC platform.
