A vulnerability has been identified in Sun Solaris, which could be exploited by remote attackers to cause a denial of service. This flaw is due to an error in the Net-SNMP service when handling malformed TCP packets, which could be exploited by remote attackers to disable the "snmpd" daemon on a system where the "SUNWsmagt" package has been installed, creating a denial of service condition.
