CVE-2009-3000: Null Pointer Dereference

First published: Fri Aug 28 2009(Updated: )

The sockfs module in the kernel in Sun Solaris 10 and OpenSolaris snv_41 through snv_122, when Network Cache Accelerator (NCA) logging is enabled, allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (panic) via unspecified web-server traffic that triggers a NULL pointer dereference in the nl7c_http_log function, related to "improper http response handling."
