1.  Bulletins Topics

    Sun announces the release of patches for Solaris(tm) 8, 7, and
    2.6 (SunOS(tm) 5.8, 5.7, and 5.6) which relate to an snmpXdmid
    vulnerability reported in CERT CA-2001-05.

    Sun recommends that you install the patches listed in section 4
    immediately on systems running SunOS 5.8, 5.7, and 5.6 which
    use snmpXdmid.

2.  Who is Affected

    Vulnerable:                SunOS 5.8, 5.8_x86, 5.7, 5.7_x86, 5.6,
                               5.6_x86

3.  Understanding the Vulnerability

    The snmpXdmid utility is a subagent in the Solstice Enterprise
    Agent Desktop Management Interface package.  It maps Simple
    Network Management Protocol (SNMP) requests forwarded by the
    Master Agent (snmpdx(1M)) into one or more equivalent Desktop
    Management Interface (DMI) requests and vice-versa.  The
    snmpXdmid subagent runs as a daemon with root privileges on
    the system.  snmpXdmid contains a buffer overflow in the code
    for translating DMI indications to SNMP events. This buffer
    overflow is exploitable by local or remote intruders to gain
    root privileges.

    The issue was discovered by Job de Haas ([email protected]) of ITSX BV
    Amsterdam, The Netherlands (http://www.itsx.com).

    CERT Advisory CA-2001-05 is available from:

    http://www.cert.org/advisories/CA-2001-05.html
