CVSS v3.1
Official Description
Unspecified vulnerability in the udp subsystem in the kernel in Sun Solaris 10, and OpenSolaris snv_90 through snv_108, when Solaris Trusted Extensions is enabled, allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (panic) via unspecified vectors involving the crgetlabel function, related to a "TX panic." NOTE: this issue exists because of a regression in earlier kernel patches.
Technical Analysis
CVE-2009-2297 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.
