CVSS v3.1
Official Description
The labeled networking implementation in Solaris Trusted Extensions in Sun Solaris 10 and OpenSolaris snv_39 through snv_67, when a labeled zone is in the installed state, allows remote authenticated users to bypass a Mandatory Access Control (MAC) policy and obtain access to the global zone.
Technical Analysis
CVE-2008-7300 can be exploited remotely over the network without requiring physical or adjacent access, significantly expanding the attack surface for threat actors.
Exploitation requires some privileges, which limits the exposure to scenarios where an attacker has already gained initial access.
