Two vulnerabilities have been identified in Sun Solaris, which could be exploited by local attackers to cause a denial of service. These issues are caused by race conditions within the CPU Performance Counters sub-system of the Solaris kernel, which may allow a local unprivileged user to panic the system causing a denial of service condition.
