CVSS v3.1
Official Description
alloccgblk in the UFS filesystem in Solaris 10 allows local users to cause a denial of service (memory corruption) by mounting crafted UFS filesystems with malformed data structures.
Technical Analysis
CVE-2006-5726 requires local access, meaning attackers must already have a foothold on the target system.
Exploitation requires some privileges, which limits the exposure to scenarios where an attacker has already gained initial access.
A proof-of-concept (PoC) exploit exists for CVE-2006-5726. While not yet confirmed in active campaigns, the availability of PoC code increases exploitation risk substantially.
