UnknownEPSS 1.50%

Last modified Jun 16, 2026

CVE-2006-4117 is a vulnerability of currently unknown severity. The squeue_drain function in Sun Solaris 10, possibly only when run on CMT processors, allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service ("bad trap" and system panic) by opening and closing a large number of TCP connections ("heavy TCP/IP loads"). NOTE: the original report specifies the function name as "drain_squeue," but this is likely incorrect.. EPSS estimates a 1.50% chance of exploitation in the next 30 days.
