SGI : Security Vulnerabilities, CVEs, Published In August 2003

Unknown vulnerability in the libcpr library for the Checkpoint/Restart (cpr) system on SGI IRIX 6.5.21f and earlier allows local users to truncate or overwrite certain files.

Unknown vulnerability in the NFS daemon (nfsd) in SGI IRIX 6.5.19f and earlier allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (kernel panic) via certain packets that cause XDR decoding errors, a different vulnerability than CVE-2003-0619.

Heap-based buffer overflow in the name services daemon (nsd) in SGI IRIX 6.5.x through 6.5.21f, and possibly earlier versions, allows attackers to gain root privileges via the AUTH_UNIX gid list.

Unknown vulnerability in SGI IRIX 6.5.x through 6.5.20, and possibly earlier versions, allows local users to cause a core dump in scheme and possibly gain privileges via certain environment variables, a different vulnerability than CVE-2001-0797 and CVE-1999-0028.

The DNS callbacks in nsd in SGI IRIX 6.5.x through 6.5.20f, and possibly earlier versions, do not perform sufficient sanity checking, with unknown impact.

Unknown vulnerability in nsd in SGI IRIX 6.5.x through 6.5.20f, and possibly earlier versions, allows attackers to cause a denial of service (memory consumption).

Unknown vulnerability in the IPv6 capability in IRIX 6.5.19 causes snoop to process packets as the root user, with unknown implications.

The IPv6 capability in IRIX 6.5.19 allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (hang) in inetd via port scanning.

SGI IRIX 6.5.x through 6.5.20f, and possibly earlier versions, does not follow "-" entries in the /etc/group file, which may cause subsequent group membership entries to be processed inadvertently.

The Name Service Daemon (nsd), when running on an NIS master on SGI IRIX 6.5.x through 6.5.20f, and possibly earlier versions, allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (crash) via a UDP port scan.
