CVE-2007-5462

Status: ModifiedHigh (7.8)—

Unspecified vulnerability in the Sun Solaris RPC services library (librpcsvc) on Solaris 8 through 10 allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (mountd crash) via unspecified packets to a server that exports many filesystems, and allows local users to cause a denial of service (automountd crash) via unspecified requests to mount filesystems from a server that exports many filesystems.

CVSS

Exploitation probability (EPSS)

EPSS (Exploit Prediction Scoring System, FIRST) estimates how likely a vulnerability is to be exploited in the wild within 30 days. It complements CVSS (impact) and CISA KEV (confirmed exploitation).
