CVE-2009-2187 describes multiple memory leaks within the IP and IPv6 multicast implementations of Sun Solaris 10 and OpenSolaris (snv_67 through snv_93). These leaks occur when DL_ENABMULTI_REQ and DL_DISABMULTI_REQ messages are associated with ARP messages. A local attacker can exploit this vulnerability to cause a denial of service by consuming system memory. The vulnerability has a CVSS score of 4.9, indicating a low severity, as it requires local access and has no impact on confidentiality or integrity, only availability. There is no evidence of active exploitation, no public exploit code (Metasploit, Nuclei, ExploitDB), and minimal community discussion, suggesting it is not a widely targeted vulnerability.
