Description
Vulnerability in the Oracle Solaris product of Oracle Systems (component: Services). The supported version that is affected is 11.4. Easily exploitable vulnerability allows low privileged attacker with network access via HTTP to compromise Oracle Solaris. Successful attacks of this vulnerability can result in unauthorized ability to cause a hang or frequently repeatable crash (complete DOS) of Oracle Solaris and unauthorized read access to a subset of Oracle Solaris accessible data. CVSS 3.1 Base Score 7.1 (Confidentiality and Availability impacts). CVSS Vector: (CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:L/I:N/A:H).

AI Analysis

Impact

Oracle Solaris 11.4 Services contains a flaw that allows an attacker with low privileges who can reach the system over HTTP to trigger a crash or hang in the Solaris Services component and to read a subset of accessible data. The vulnerability is characterized by a network-based attack vector, low privilege requirements, no user interaction, and an impact that comprises confidentiality loss of limited data and availability loss through frequent crashes. The description describes the issue as “easily exploitable,” indicating no extensive prerequisites beyond network access.

Affected Systems

Oracle Solaris 11.4 is the only version listed as affected. No other products or versions are mentioned in the advisory. The vulnerability resides in the Solaris Services component and there are no alternative workarounds provided by Oracle.

Risk and Exploitability

The CVSS v3.1 score of 7.1 signals a high‑severity vulnerability with significant availability impact and some confidentiality risk. Because the EPSS score is < 1 % the overall exploitation probability is very low, and the issue is not indexed in the CISA KEV catalog, empirical exploitation data is limited; however, the vector shows that network access is sufficient and no privileged escalation or user interaction is required. If Solaris servers are publicly reachable, low‑privileged attackers could frequently trigger crashes or gain limited data exposure, elevating the operational risk for organizations running unpatched 11.4 installations.
