SGI Security Advisory
Title : ToolTalk Vulnerabilities Update
Number : 20021102-03-P
Date : April 11, 2003
Reference: CERT CA-1999-11
Reference: SGI Security Advisory 20021102-02-P
Reference: SGI BUG 875945
Fixed in : IRIX 6.5.18 or later
Fixed in : patch 4915
______________________________________________________________________________
- -----------------------
- --- Issue Specifics ---
- -----------------------
This bulletin is a followup to SGI Security Bulletin 20021102-02-P.
Please see:
ftp://patches.sgi.com/support/free/security/advisories/20021102-02-P
for additional information.
The patch referenced herein will allow you to install CDE version 5.3 on
IRIX versions prior to 6.5.18. It addresses ALL four CERT CA-1999.11 issues:
http://www.cert.org/advisories/CA-1999-11.html
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.
These issues have been corrected with a patch and in future releases of
IRIX.
- --------------
- --- Impact ---
- --------------
Tooltalk is not installed by default on IRIX 6.5 systems. It is part of the
optional IRIX ToolTalk package (tooltalk_eoe.sw.runtime).
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 6.5.19f
The first number ("6.5") is the release name, the second ("6.5.16f" in this
case) is the extended release name. The extended release name is the
"version" we refer to throughout this document.
To see if tooltalk is installed, execute the following command:
1% versions -b | grep tooltalk
I tooltalk_eoe 10/31/2001 ToolTalk 1.3 Execution Only Environment
If the output of the command is similar to the above, then tooltalk is
installed and the system may be vulnerable.
- ----------------------------
- --- Temporary Workaround ---
- ----------------------------
There is no effective workaround available for these problems if you need to
use tooltalk. SGI recommends either upgrading to IRIX 6.5.18 or later, or
installing the appropriate patch from the listing below.
- ----------------
- --- Solution ---
- ----------------
SGI has provided a patch for these vulnerabilities that will allow you to
install CDE 5.3 on IRIX versions prior to 6.5.18. Our recommendation is to
upgrade to IRIX 6.5.18 or later, or install the appropriate patch.
