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 Remote Procedure Calls (RPC) zones implementation, which may allow a local user with administrative privileges in a non-global zone to intercept and corrupt NFS traffic destined for other non-global zones on the system, creating a denial of service condition.
