SGI Security Advisory
Title: sendmail prescan() vulnerability
Number: 20030903-01-P
Date: September 29, 2003
Reference: CERT CA-2003-25
Reference: CAN-2003-0694
Reference: SGI BUG 900772
Fixed in: IRIX 6.5.22 or patches 5325 and 5326

- --- Issue Specifics ---
- -----------------------
It has been reported that under certain conditions a vulnerability in
sendmail could allow a remote attacker to execute arbitrary code with
the privileges of the sendmail daemon, typically root. This effects
all versions of sendmail including the latest version, 8.12.9.
For more details please see:
http://www.cert.org/advisories/CA-2003-25.html
http://www.kb.cert.org/vuls/id/784980
http://lists.netsys.com/pipermail/full-disclosure/2003-September/010287.html
The Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures project (cve.mitre.org) has
assigned the name CAN-2003-0694 to this issue:
http://cve.mitre.org/cgi-bin/cvename.cgi?name=CAN-2003-0694
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. This issue has been
corrected in future releases of IRIX.
- --------------
- --- Impact ---
- --------------
sendmail is install by default on IRIX.
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.
If the output shows a release below 6.5.22, then the system may be
vulnerable unless patched.
- ----------------------------
- --- Temporary Workaround ---
- ----------------------------
There is no effective workaround available for this vulnerability.
SGI understands that there are times when upgrading the operating system or
installing patches are inconvenient or not possible. In those instances,
we recommend to run the following as root:
# chkconfig sendmail off
# /etc/init.d/sendmail stop
Of course, you will no longer have the services of the sendmail server
after doing this.
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, or install the appropriate
patch.
