1. Bulletins Topics

Sun announces the release of patches for Solaris(tm) 2.6, 2.5.1, 2.5
and 2.4 (SunOS(tm) 5.6, 5.5.1, 5.5 and 5.4), which relate to a
vulnerability in rpc.nisd.

Sun estimates that the release of a patch for Solaris 2.3 (SunOS 5.3)
that relates to the same vulnerability will be available within 12 weeks
of the date of this bulletin.

Sun strongly recommends that you install the patches listed in section 4
immediately on systems running SunOS 5.6, 5.6_x86, 5.5.1, 5.5, and 5.4
which use rpc.nisd.

2. Who is Affected

Vulnerable: SunOS 5.6, 5.6_x86, 5.5.1, 5.5.1_x86, 5.5, 5.5_x86,
5.4, 5.4_x86 and 5.3 on systems which are NIS+ servers.

Not vulnerable: All other supported versions of SunOS.

3. Understanding the Vulnerability

The rpc.nisd daemon is an RPC service that implements the NIS+ service.
This daemon must be running on all machines which serve a portion of
the NIS+ namespace. A buffer overflow has been discovered in rpc.nisd
which could be exploited to gain root access and execute arbitrary
commands.

4. List of Patches

The following patches are available in relation to the above problem.
