Overview

CVE-2008-5410 is a high-severity vulnerability affecting sun solaris. It was published on December 10, 2008 and has a CVSS 2.0 base score of 7.8 (HIGH).

This vulnerability has a CVSS 2.0 base score of 7.8, rated HIGH. It can be exploited remotely over the network. No authentication or special privileges are required for exploitation.

Technical description

The PK11_SESSION cache in the OpenSSL PKCS#11 engine in Sun Solaris 10 does not maintain reference counts for operations with asymmetric keys, which allows context-dependent attackers to cause a denial of service (failed cryptographic operations) via unspecified vectors, related to the (1) RSA_sign and (2) RSA_verify functions.

Remediation

Check the references section for vendor advisories and patches from sun. Update solaris to the latest patched version. If immediate patching is not possible, review the CVSS vector to understand the attack surface and apply compensating controls such as network segmentation or access restrictions.
