- -----------------------
- --- Issue Specifics ---
- -----------------------
It has been reported that under certain conditions rpc.mountd goes
into infinite loop while processing some RPC requests.
SGI has investigated the issue and recommends the following steps for
resolving this issue. It is HIGHLY RECOMMENDED that these measures
be implemented on ALL vulnerable SGI systems. This issue has been
corrected in future releases of IRIX.
- --------------
- --- Impact ---
- --------------
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 6.5.21f
The first number ("6.5") is the release name, the second ("6.5.21f" in
this case) is the extended release name. The extended release name
is the "version" we refer to throughout this document.
- ----------------
- --- Solution ---
- ----------------
SGI has provided a series of patches for these vulnerabilities.
Our recommendation is to upgrade to IRIX 6.5.25, or install the
appropriate patches.
