-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 =========================================================================== AUSCERT External Security Bulletin Redistribution ESB-2009.0500 -- [Solaris] sadmind(1M) Daemon: Execute Arbitrary Code 25 May 2009 =========================================================================== AusCERT Security Bulletin Summary --------------------------------- Product: sadmind(1M) Daemon Publisher: Sun Microsystems Operating System: Solaris Impact: Execute Arbitrary Code/Commands Access: Remote/Unauthenticated CVE Names: CVE-2008-3870 CVE-2008-3869 Original Bulletin: http://sunsolve.sun.com/search/printfriendly.do?assetkey=1-66-259468-1 - --------------------------BEGIN INCLUDED TEXT-------------------- Solution Type: Sun Alert Solution 259468 : Multiple Vulnerabilities in the Solaris 8 and 9 sadmind(1M) Daemon May Lead to Arbitrary Code Execution Bug ID: 6765885, 6766465 Product Solaris 8 Operating System Solaris 9 Operating System Date of Resolved Release: 22-May-2009 SA Document Body Multiple Vulnerabilities in the Solaris 8 and 9 sadmind(1M) Daemon May Lead to Arbitrary Code Execution 1. Impact On Solaris 8 and 9 heap and integer overflow vulnerabilities in the Solaris sadmind(1M) daemon may allow a local or remote unprivileged user to execute arbitrary code with root privileges. Sun acknowledges with thanks Secunia Research for bringing these issues to our attention. These issues are also described in the following documents: CVE-2008-3869 at http://cve.mitre.org/cgi-bin/cvename.cgi?name=CVE-2008-3869 CVE-2008-3870 at http://cve.mitre.org/cgi-bin/cvename.cgi?name=CVE-2008-3870 2. Contributing Factors These issues can occur in the following releases: SPARC Platform * Solaris 8 without patch 116455-02 * Solaris 9 without patch 116453-03 x86 Platform * Solaris 8 without patch 116442-02 * Solaris 9 without patch 116454-03 Note: Solaris 10 and OpenSolaris do not ship with sadmind(1M) and therefore are not affected by these issues. To determine if sadmind(1M) is enabled on the system, the following command can be run: $ grep sadmind /etc/inet/inetd.conf 100232/10 tli rpc/udp wait root /usr/sbin/sadmind sadmind 3. Symptoms There are no predictable symptoms that would indicate these issues have been exploited to execute arbitrary code. 4. Workaround To work around these issues, sadmind(1M) can be disabled by doing the following: 1. Edit the '/etc/inetd.conf' file as the root user to comment out the entry for sadmind(1M). This entry will then read as: #100232/10 tli rpc/udp wait root /usr/sbin/sadmind sadmind 2. Restart the inetd(1M) process to reread the newly modified '/etc/inetd.conf' file. This may be done using the following command: # /usr/bin/pkill -HUP inetd 5. Resolution These issues are addressed in the following releases: SPARC Platform * Solaris 8 with patch 116455-02 or later * Solaris 9 with patch 116453-03 or later x86 Platform * Solaris 8 with patch 116442-02 or later * Solaris 9 with patch 116454-03 or later For more information on Security Sun Alerts, see Technical Instruction ID 213557 http://sunsolve.sun.com/search/document.do?assetkey=1-61-213557-1 This Sun Alert notification is being provided to you on an "AS IS" basis.
