--- Issue Specifics ---
-----------------------
It has been reported that under certain conditions a vulnerability in
sendmail could allow a remote attacker to execute arbitrary code with
the privileges of the sendmail daemon.
For more details please see:
http://www.kb.cert.org/vuls/id/834865
The Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures project (cve.mitre.org) has
assigned the name CVE-2006-0058 to this issue:
http://cve.mitre.org/cgi-bin/cvename.cgi?name=CVE-2006-0058
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. This issue has been
corrected in future releases of IRIX.
--------------
--- Impact ---
--------------
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 6.5.27f
The first number ("6.5") is the release name, the second ("6.5.27f" in
this case) is the extended release name. The extended release name is the
"version" we refer to throughout this document.
----------------
--- Solution ---
----------------
SGI has provided a patch for these vulnerabilities and
recommends that all affected operating systems install the
appropriate patch.
