Security Advisory Subject: Open UNIX, UnixWare 7: snmpd memory fault vulnerabilities Advisory number: CSSA-2002-SCO.4 Issue date: 2002 February 12 Cross reference: ___________________________________________________________________________ 1. Problem Description The University of Oulu (Finland) wrote approximately 53000 tests for snmpd error conditions. For Open UNIX and UnixWare, 94 of the tests caused snmpd to memory fault. This could lead to denial-of-service attacks, or possible local and remote root acquisition. 2. Vulnerable Supported Versions Operating System Version Affected Files ------------------------------------------------------------------ Open UNIX 8.0.0 /usr/lib/libsnmp.so UnixWare 7 7.1.1 /usr/lib/libsnmp.so UnixWare 7 7.1.0 /usr/lib/libsnmp.so 3. Workaround If snmp is not a needed service: add an 'exit 0' statement (without the single quotes) as the first executable line of /etc/rc2.d/S73snmp, -or- remove the execute bits from the in.snmpd binary, # chmod 0 /usr/sbin/in.snmpd 4.
