Sun Linux 5.0 OpenSSL versions 0.9.6 and earlier ...

1. Impact

Sun Linux 5.0 OpenSSL versions 0.9.6 and earlier have two issues that may allow a remote unprivileged user to cause Denial of Service and arbitrary code execution.

OpenSSL is an open source toolkit that implements Secure Sockets Layer (SSL v2/v3) and Transport Layer Security (TLS v1) protocols, as well as a general purpose cryptography library.
