Sun Solaris Serial Console has been reported prone to a denial of service condition when handling excessive quantities of output data. The issue occurs under undisclosed circumstances, however it has been reported that the issue will only occur on Sun systems that use the 'su' driver for serial console. It has been conjectured that an attacker, who has access to the Sun Solaris serial console, could exploit this issue to trigger a kernel panic or system hang.
