Re: Solaris 10 Port Stealing Vulnerability

Imagine if you find a Solaris system running a web server that has a
remote exploit which allows for the execution of arbitrary code. If the
web server happens to be listening on the wildcard interface than you
can very easily insert your own web server in front of it!


There SO_EXCLBIND setsockopt in Solaris which protects hijacking the port.
