SCO Security Advisory
Subject: UnixWare 7.1.4 UnixWare 7.1.3 UnixWare 7.1.1 : mountd remote denial of service
Advisory number: SCOSA-2005.1
Issue date: 2005 January 11
Cross reference: sr892156 fz530479 erg712731 CAN-2004-1039
______________________________________________________________________________
1. Problem Description
mountd is not enabled by default. But when the NFS mountd service
is run by inetd, if a NFS mount related request is received
from the remote (or local) host, inetd will repeatedly
create the mountd process and as a result increasingly
consume memory.
The Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures project (cve.mitre.org)
has assigned the name CAN-2004-1039 to this issue.
2. Vulnerable Supported Versions
System Binaries
----------------------------------------------------------------------
UnixWare 7.1.4 /usr/lib/nfs/tmp/mountd
UnixWare 7.1.3 /usr/lib/nfs/tmp/mountd
UnixWare 7.1.1 /usr/lib/nfs/mountd
3. Solution
The proper solution is to install the latest packages.
