If you want to be a little less appetizing to the bear than the other guy until Sun coughs up a sadmind patch (if you're one of the unlucky sites that has a need for it), get thee hence to ftp://ftp.porcupine.org/pub/security/rpcbind_2.1.tar.gz and replace the rpcbind on your solaris2 system with Weitse's tcpwrapped version. It will NOT stop the buffer overflow in sadmind by any means, but it will stop this particular exploit script from being used by those who cannot fix the code to not ask portmapper for the sadmind port. (of course, since it's 18:45 EST on a friday, I imagine someone will post a version that does direct-to-sadmind-port poking well before monday a.m.) -- Erik Fichtner; Warrior SysAdmin (emf|techs) 34.9908% http://www.obfuscation.org/~techs N 38 53.055' W 77 21.860' 764 ft.
