SGI recommends that this information be acted upon as soon as possible. SGI provides the information in this Security Advisory on an "AS-IS" basis only, and disclaims all warranties with respect thereto, express, implied or otherwise, including, without limitation, any warranty of merchantability or fitness for a particular purpose.

A local account on the system would be required to exploit this vulnerability. The vulnerability exists within the 32 bit and 64 bit versions of the libcpr library and therefore binaries that load that library may exhibit the vulnerability. 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 32 bit versions of libcpr are installed by default on IRIX 6.5 systems as part of the optional eoe.sw.cpr package. The 64 bit version is part of the optional eoe.sw64.lib package which is installed by default on 64 bit systems. 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. To see if the 32 bit versions of the libcpr library are installed, execute the following command: % versions eoe.sw.cpr I = Installed, R = Removed Name Date Description I eoe 05/18/2003 IRIX Execution Environment, 6.5.20f I eoe.sw 05/18/2003 IRIX Execution Environment Software I eoe.sw.cpr 05/18/2003 SGI Checkpoint-Restart Software To check for the 64 bit versions: % versions eoe.sw64.lib I = Installed, R = Removed Name Date Description I eoe 05/18/2003 IRIX Execution Environment, 6.5.20f I eoe.sw64 05/18/2003 EOE 64bit Libraries I eoe.sw64.lib 05/18/2003 IRIX 64bit Libraries If the output is similar to the above, then libcpr is installed and the system may be vulnerable. - ---------------------------- - --- Temporary Workaround --- - ---------------------------- SGI understands that there are times when upgrading the operating system or installing patches are inconvenient or not possible. In those instances, we recommend the following workaround: Remove the checkpoint / restart system by doing "versions remove eoe.sw.cpr" If the eoe.sw64.lib package is installed, it should be removed with "versions remove eoe.sw64.lib" Of course after doing that, cpr services will no longer be available. - ---------------- - --- Solution --- - ---------------- SGI has provided a series of patches for these vulnerabilities. Our recommendation is to upgrade to IRIX 6.5.22 (when available), or install the appropriate patch. OS Version Vulnerable?
