Denial of Service (DoS)
1. Impact
A security vulnerability in the firmware for Sun Netra T5220 systems
may allow a local unprivileged user to panic the system, which is a
type of Denial of Service (DoS).
2. Contributing Factors

SPARC Platform
* Sun Netra T5220 Server with firmware version 7.1.3 and without

Note: No other Sun systems are affected by this issue.
To determine the firmware version on the system, log in to the service
processor and run the 'showhost' command as in the following example:
sc> showhost

string will include "BAD TRAP type=33" or "BAD TRAP type=34". User
applications may fail with a segmentation fault (SIGSEGV) and may also
