| Exploitation Conditions | Exploitation requires the attacker to already have an interactive local logon to the infrastructure where Oracle Solaris 11.4 runs (AV:L) - remote network exploitation is not possible. The flaw resides in the Solaris 'Services' component, and the high attack complexity (AC:H) means success depends on specific, attacker-uncontrolled runtime conditions (e.g., timing or state in the targeted service), which substantially limits reliable exploitation. No authentication is scored as required (PR:N) and no user interaction is needed (UI:N), but the mandatory local logon and the narrow triggering conditions are the key limiting factors; impact is confined to a non-persistent availability loss (hang/crash) on the single affected host (S:U). |
| Impact | This is a moderate-severity, low-priority availability issue rather than an urgent threat. The CVSS 3.1 vector (AV:L/AC:H/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:N/I:N/A:H, base 5.1) describes a local-only attack (AV:L) with high exploit complexity (AC:H) and availability-only impact - a complete but non-persistent denial of service (hang or repeatable crash) with no confidentiality or integrity effect. No EPSS score was supplied, the CVE is not in CISA KEV, and no public exploit is referenced, so there is no evidence of real-world exploitation. One notable tension: Oracle scores this PR:N (no privileges), yet the description states the attacker must have 'logon to the infrastructure where Oracle Solaris executes' - Oracle treats the required local logon as the AV:L attack vector rather than as a privilege, but defenders should understand that practical exploitation still requires an existing local account/session. Combined with AC:H (special conditions the attacker cannot fully control), real-world risk is limited to environments where untrusted users already have local shell access. Overall: a genuine but low-urgency DOS bug, not a high-risk priority. |
| Exploit ScenarioDerived | An attacker who already holds a local login session on a Solaris 11.4 host triggers a flaw in a Services component that, under specific hard-to-control conditions, forces the operating system to hang or repeatedly crash, denying service to all users. No public proof-of-concept is known, and the high attack complexity means the attacker must line up specific runtime conditions. Impact is limited to availability - no data disclosure or modification occurs. |

Alert meAnalysisAIv1 – Oct 21, 2026
Denial of service in Oracle Solaris 11.4's Services component can be triggered by an attacker who already holds an interactive local logon, causing a hang or frequently repeatable crash of the affected host. The CVSS 3.1 vector is AV:L/AC:H/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:N/I:N/A:H, meaning exploitation is local rather than remote, does not require credentials beyond the local logon, needs no user interaction, and depends on specific runtime conditions that make reliable success difficult. No public exploit code or CISA KEV entry was identified at time of analysis, and impact is confined to availability on the single affected system.
RemediationAI
Apply the Oracle Critical Patch Update for October 2026 to Oracle Solaris 11.4; the vendor advisory at https://www.oracle.com/security-alerts/cpuoct2026.html is the authoritative source, and no exact Solaris patch ID or SRU number is provided in the input data. Because exploitation requires an interactive local logon, reduce exposure by limiting local shell and console access to trusted administrators and removing unnecessary local accounts, recognizing that this does not protect against legitimate local users. As a compensating control, enable service monitoring and automatic restart/watchdog behavior for critical Solaris services to shorten outages from a hang or crash, with the trade-off that repeated restarts may mask the underlying fault or enter a restart loop. No public exploit code was identified at time of analysis, so emergency out-of-band patching is not indicated beyond normal CPU cadence.

Technical ContextAI · show details
The issue resides in the Services component of Oracle Solaris 11.4, which covers the service-management and daemon infrastructure used to start, stop, and supervise system services. No CWE identifier or CPE string was supplied in the input data, so the precise root-cause class is not confirmed; the scored vector describes a local (AV:L), high-complexity (AC:H) condition in which an attacker with an existing interactive logon can induce a service hang or repeatable crash, producing complete denial of service on that host. The PR:N score means no additional authentication is required beyond the local logon prerequisite, and UI:N means no victim interaction is needed. The narrow triggering conditions implied by AC:H, together with the local access requirement, substantially limit practical exploitation.

DescriptionCVE.org
Vulnerability in the Oracle Solaris product of Oracle Systems (component: Services). The supported version that is affected is 11.4. Difficult to exploit vulnerability allows unauthenticated 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 5.1 (Availability impacts). CVSS Vector: (CVSS:3.1/AV:L/AC:H/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:N/I:N/A:H).
