SGI has investigated the issues 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 in future releases of IRIX. - -------------- - --- Impact --- - -------------- The above snmp daemons are not installed by default, they are part of the eoe.sw.netman package and can be optionally installed. In order to check to see if this package is installed, run the following command: # versions | grep netman If the output of the above command looks like the following, then the daemons are installed and the system is vulnerable: I eoe.sw.netman 03/14/2001 Network Management SNMP Support These vulnerabilities may be exploited by a remote user, and no local account is required. This issue was reported on CERTŪ Advisory CA-2002-03 Multiple Vulnerabilities in Many Implementations of the Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP): http://www.cert.org/advisories/CA-2002-03.html The PROTOS vulnerability was assigned the following CVE: http://cve.mitre.org/cgi-bin/cvename.cgi?name=CAN-2002-0013 The ISS SNMP buffer overflow was assigned the following CVE: http://cve.mitre.org/cgi-bin/cvename.cgi?name=CAN-2002-0017 - ---------------------------- - --- Temporary Workaround --- - ---------------------------- The only workaround for these problems is to uninstall the product using the following commands: # versions remove eoe.sw.netman SGI recommends either upgrading to IRIX 6.5.16 when it is released, 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 6.5.16 when available, or install the appropriate patch. OS Version Vulnerable?
