SGI Security Advisory
Title : Mail Header Buffer Overflow In Sendmail
Number : 20030301-01-P
Date : March 3, 2003
Reference: CERT VU#398025
Reference: CERT CA-2003-07
Reference: CVE CAN-2002-1337
Reference: SGI BUG 869098 875386 880975
Fixed in : IRIX 6.5.20 or patches 4975 and 4976
______________________________________________________________________________
- -----------------------
- --- Issue Specifics ---
- -----------------------
ISS and sendmail.org have reported that there is a vulnerability involving
mail header manipulation that can result in a remote user gaining
root access to a system receiving mail through sendmail.
http://www.sendmail.org/8.12.8.html
http://www.cert.org/advisories/CA-2003-07.html
http://www.kb.cert.org/vuls/id/398025
http://cve.mitre.org/cgi-bin/cvename.cgi?name=CAN-2002-1337
SGI has investigated the issue and recommends the following steps for
neutralizing the exposure. It is HIGHLY RECOMMENDED that these measures be
implemented on ALL vulnerable SGI systems.
These issues have been corrected with patches and in future releases of
IRIX.
- --------------
- --- Impact ---
- --------------
The sendmail binary is installed by default on IRIX 6.5 systems as part of
eoe.sw.base.
To determine the version of IRIX you are running, execute the following
command:
# /bin/uname -R
That will return a result similar to the following:
# 6.5 6.5.19f
The first number ("6.5") is the release name, the second ("6.5.16f" in this
case) is the extended release name. The extended release name is the
"version" we refer to throughout this document.
- ----------------------------
- --- Temporary Workaround ---
- ----------------------------
At this time, there is no effective workaround (other than disabling
sendmail) for these problems. SGI recommends either upgrading to IRIX
6.5.20, or installing the appropriate patch from the listing below.
- ----------------
- --- Solution ---
- ----------------
SGI has provided a series of patches for these vulnerabilities. Our
recommendation is to upgrade to IRIX 6.5.20 when available, or install the
appropriate patch.
