    descriptionVulnerability in the Solaris component of Oracle Sun Systems Products Suite (subcomponent: Kernel). The supported version that is affected is 10. Easily exploitable vulnerability allows unauthenticated attacker with network access via ICMP to compromise Solaris. Successful attacks of this vulnerability can result in unauthorized ability to cause a hang or frequently repeatable crash (complete DOS) of Solaris. Vulnerability in the Solaris component of Oracle Sun Systems Products Suite (subcomponent: SPARC Platform). Supported versions that are affected are 10 and 11.3. Easily exploitable vulnerability allows low privileged attacker with logon to the infrastructure where Solaris executes to compromise Solaris. Successful attacks require human interaction from a person other than the attacker. Successful attacks of this vulnerability can result in unauthorized creation, deletion or modification access to critical data or all Solaris accessible data as well as unauthorized access to critical data or complete access to all Solaris accessible data. This plugin has been deprecated and either replaced with individual 150400 patch-revision plugins, or deemed non-security related.
