The rpc.walld RPC service is running. Some versions of this server allow an attacker to gain root access remotely, by consuming the resources of the remote host then sending a specially formed packet with format strings to this host.
Solaris 2.5.1, 2.6, 7, 8 and 9 are vulnerable to this issue. Other operating systems might be affected as well.
Nessus did not check for this vulnerability, so this might be a false positive.
