A vulnerability has been identified in Sun Solaris and OpenSolaris, which could be exploited by local attackers to cause a denial of service. This issue is caused by an unspecified error in the NFS kernel module on systems with kernel patches 120011-14 (SPARC) and 120012-14 (x86), which could allow a local unprivileged user to cause an NFS server to panic, creating a denial of service condition.
