MITRE ATT&CK
1 technique across 1 tactic: Impact The technique list with ATT&CK links and the kill-chain view is part of the Basic plan and up. |
| Exploitation Conditions | Requires an authenticated local account (PR:L) with the ability to log on to the Oracle Solaris 11.4 infrastructure and interact with the Filesystems component; the flaw cannot be reached remotely or without a valid session (AV:L, no network vector). Exploitation is limited to Oracle Solaris version 11.4 specifically, and impact is confined to availability - no privilege escalation, data disclosure, or code execution results. The low-privilege and local-access prerequisites mean realistic risk is restricted to insiders or an attacker who has already established a foothold on the host. |
| Impact | This is a moderate, availability-only vulnerability that should be prioritized for routine patching rather than emergency response. The CVSS 3.1 vector (AV:L/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:N/I:N/A:H, base 5.5) is internally consistent with the description: exploitation requires local logon to the host (AV:L) and at least low privileges (PR:L), is easy to trigger (AC:L), and results solely in a complete denial of service (A:H) with no confidentiality or integrity impact (C:N/I:N). No EPSS score, SSVC decision data, KEV listing, or POC was supplied in the intelligence set, so there is no signal of active exploitation or automatable attack - the entire risk picture rests on the Oracle CPU advisory CVSS data. The practical risk is bounded by the local-access and authentication requirements: an attacker must already have a (low-privileged) account on the Solaris host, which limits this to insider, lateral-movement, or multi-stage scenarios rather than internet-facing mass exploitation. In short, this is a legitimately real but low-urgency issue - a denial-of-service nuisance for already-authenticated local users, not a high-impact remote compromise. |
| Exploit ScenarioDerived | A low-privileged local user who already has shell access to an Oracle Solaris 11.4 system invokes a crafted filesystem operation that drives the OS into a hang or a repeatable panic, taking the host offline (complete DoS). No confidential data is exposed and no code is executed; the impact is purely availability. No public exploit code was identified in the provided data. |

Alert meAnalysisAIv1 – Oct 21, 2026
Low-privileged local users can crash Oracle Solaris 11.4 through a flaw in the Filesystems component, causing a hang or repeatable complete denial of service. The issue requires a valid local logon (CVSS 5.5, AV:L/PR:L) and affects availability only, with no confidentiality or integrity impact; no public exploit code or confirmed active exploitation was identified at time of analysis. It is a routine-patching priority rather than an emergency remote threat.
RemediationAI
Apply the Oracle Critical Patch Update October 2026 fix for Oracle Solaris 11.4; the vendor advisory at https://www.oracle.com/security-alerts/cpuoct2026.html is the authoritative source, and an exact patched Solaris build or release number was not supplied in the input, so verify the minimum fixed revision in the advisory before closing. Until patched, reduce local exposure by restricting interactive logon and sudo or role-based access on Solaris 11.4 hosts to trusted administrators, removing unnecessary low-privileged accounts, and auditing filesystem-related activity and crash or panic logs for repeated failures; these controls lower the chance of an insider or already-foothold attacker triggering the denial of service but do not remediate the flaw. Network blocking is not a primary control because the vector is AV:L, and disabling filesystem services broadly would carry operational risk.

Technical ContextAI · show details
Oracle Solaris 11.4's Filesystems component exposes a locally reachable code path that, when exercised by a low-privileged authenticated user, can hang the operating system or trigger a frequently repeatable crash. The CVSS vector (AV:L/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:N/I:N/A:H) confirms local access, low attack complexity, low privileges, no user interaction, and availability-only impact. No CWE was provided, so the precise root-cause weakness class cannot be mapped from the available data; the observable outcome is complete denial of service rather than privilege escalation, data disclosure, or code execution. No CPE strings were supplied, and EUVD identifies only Oracle Solaris 11.4 as affected.

DescriptionCVE.org
Vulnerability in the Oracle Solaris product of Oracle Systems (component: Filesystems). The supported version that is affected is 11.4. Easily exploitable vulnerability allows low privileged attacker with logon to the infrastructure where Oracle Solaris executes 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. CVSS 3.1 Base Score 5.5 (Availability impacts). CVSS Vector: (CVSS:3.1/AV:L/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:N/I:N/A:H).
