Subject: Sendmail DNS Map Vulnerability on IRIX
-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE-----
______________________________________________________________________________
SGI Security Advisory
Title : Sendmail DNS Map Vulnerability
Number : 20030803-01-P
Date : August 25, 2003
Reference: CVE CAN-2003-0688
Reference: SGI BUG 898396
Fixed in : IRIX 6.5.22 or patch 5287

- -----------------------
- --- Issue Specifics ---
- -----------------------
It's been reported by sendmail.org that there is a potential problem in the
sendmail 8.12 series with respect to DNS maps in sendmail 8.12.8 and earlier
sendmail 8.12.x versions: http://www.sendmail.org/dnsmap1.html
SGI ships sendmail 8.12.5 with IRIX 6.5.19 and later. The bug did not exist
in versions before 8.12 as the DNS map type is new to 8.12.x versions.
This bug could potentially be exploited to cause a Denial of Service.
There may be a possibility of using it to gain remote root access.
The Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures project (cve.mitre.org) has
assigned the name CAN-2003-0688 to this issue:
http://cve.mitre.org/cgi-bin/cvename.cgi?name=CAN-2003-0688
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 in 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 ---
- ----------------------------
There is no effective workaround available for these problems if you use dns
maps with sendmail. SGI recommends either upgrading to IRIX 6.5.22 (when
available), 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 6.5.22 (when available), or install the
appropriate patch.
