Cole> This can cause code to be executed. Frech> XF:sol-kcms-conf-netpath-bo Dik> the bug has nothing to do with kcms_configure; it's a bug in libnsl.so. All set-uid executables that trigger this code path are vulnerable. Sun bug 4295834; fixed in Solaris 8. Prosser> Okay, I am confused. Based on Casper's comments and checking on the Sun patch site, I found the 4295834 bug(4295834 NETPATH security problem in libnsl) fixed in SunOS 5.4, Patch 101974-37(x86) 101973 (sparc). Multiple libnsl vulnerabilities was first reported in an 98 Sun Bulletin #00172 for 5.4 up through 2.6. Was this NETPATH a problem that resurfaced in 7 (looks like in 5.4 as well) and was fixed in 8? Christey> Need to dig up my offline email on this. Christey> May be a duplicate of CVE-1999-0321, whose sole reference (XF:sun-kcms-configure-bo) no longer exists. Also examine BID:452 and BUGTRAQ:19981223 Merry Christmas to Sun! (Was: L0pht NFR N-Code Modules Updated) which are the same as XF:sol-kcms-conf-p-bo(3652), which could be the new name for XF:sun-kcms-configure-bo. |
