Impact

Solaris 8 or Solaris 9 systems equipped with Sun Crypto Accelerator 4000 v1.0 boards which are configured to use the Apache web server may be vulnerable to Denial of Service attacks and service interruptions. In some cases a local or remote unprivileged user may be able to execute arbitrary code on the system and possibly gain elevated privileges due to buffer overflows found in OpenSSL.

This issue is also described in NISCC Vulnerability Advisory #224012 at: http://www.uniras.gov.uk/vuls/2004/224012/index.htm.
