hi once more, another test i made was linux (again suse 6.0) vs. irix6.5.2 which was not vulnerable. linux (suse 5.2 or 5.3 ;), kernel 2.0.33) vs. irix6.3 crashes again. irix6.3 vs. irix6.3 is also vulnerable. the cdrom is exported ro and it doesn't matter whether mounted ro or not i haven't seen this behaviour with irix5.3/6.2/6.4 and 'normal' (i.e. harddisk) nfs-exported directories on the irix6.3 machine: i don't think it is a broken card or cdrom drive because two (of two) more machines react the same way. but i agree it could be a general scsi/cdrom problem... who knows ;) my box is not completely up-to-date-patched but i've got some nfs patches running. i will patch my box fully and see again (and report if desired) philipp schott earlier mail: > hi there, > > is there anybody who can confirm this 'DoS' (nothing serious if the server > is not too important ;)) : > > exporting a cdrom (say /CDROM) from an irix6.3 (gna) box to a linux box > (blubb) (SuSE 6.0, kernel 2.0.36) can lead to a crash of the irix box. > > blubb:/> mount gna:/CDROM /mnt2 > blubb:/> cd /mnt2/foo/bar > blubb:/> ls > hihihi.rpm > blubb:/> rpm -i hihihi.rpm > and booom... gna goes down. > > ( > kernel fault: software detected SEGV > NFS2 getattr failed for server /dev/scsi/sc0d4l0: Timed out > ) > > this effect is repeatable. > can anybody try this on other OS versions > --- Sent through Global Message Exchange - http://www.gmx.net
