Solaris vulnerabilitiesRanked by how likely they are to be used.

Product42 versions
The short answer

Solaris is made by Sun. We track 545 published vulnerabilities listed under that exact name, across 42 versions. None of them is on the list of flaws known to be exploited today. Sun lists newer releases under their own names, such as Solaris Answerbook2, so check those pages too.

Other names

Is Solaris listed under other names? Yes.

Sun also lists Solaris under more specific names, such as Solaris Answerbook2 and Solaris Pc Netlink. Flaws listed only under those names are counted on their own pages, not here. If you run one of these, open its page for its own exploited flaws.

Exploit likelihood

Which Solaris flaws are most likely to be used?

Ranked by the latest exploit-likelihood forecast: the chance each flaw is used in an attack in the next 30 days. A high severity score on its own doesn't tell you that. Flaws shared by many other makers' products are left out.
