CVE-1999-0223

Summary

CVE-1999-0223 is a vulnerability affecting the Solaris syslogd service. When this service receives a message from an unresolved host, i.e., a host lacking an inverse DNS entry, it may result in a syslogd crash. This issue could potentially lead to denial-of-service conditions and unauthorized access if an attacker manipulates the syslogd service with crafted messages. By exploiting the absence of inverse DNS entries, an attacker could successfully trigger a syslogd crash, disrupting system logging and potentially gaining unauthorized access to the system.
