Message-ID: <200403221516.i2MFGFGn017946@sdf.lonestar.org> From: bonemach at sdf.lonestar.org (BoneMachine) Subject: AIX 4.3.3 has make sgid 0? Hello I was browsing the SecurityFocus vulnerability database and found the following: http://www.securityfocus.com/bid/9903 "Because the make utility is reported to run with setGID root privileges, a local attacker may potentially exploit this condition to gain access to the root group" Is this true ? I cannot believe that IBM has an setGID root-bit on the make utillity. This goes against all security practices I've ever heard. Are there people that have more info on this vulnerability or is this a hoax? greetings Bone Machine --- "I'm the king of airodynamics" - The Pixies ---
