- - -----------------------
It has been reported by iDefense that there are several
vulnerabilities affecting the telnet client.
The bugs addressed by this patch are:
* 930927 telnet env_opt_add() issue
http://cve.mitre.org/cgi-bin/cvename.cgi?name=CAN-2005-0468
* 930928 telnet slc_add_reply() issue
http://cve.mitre.org/cgi-bin/cvename.cgi?name=CAN-2005-0469
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.
- - --------------
- - --- 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 6.5.27m
The first number ("6.5") is the release name, the second ("6.5.27m" 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
and recommends that all affected operating systems install the
appropriate patch.
