Checks the remote SCO OpenServer Detailed Explanation for this Vulnerability Assessment OpenServer 5.0.7, OpenServer 5.0.6, and OpenServer 5.0.5 are vulnerable to two (2) distinct exploits. Namely, 1) Xsco can be locally exploited by any valid user in order to escalate their rights to 'root'. The bug is due to improper input handling when running the command line switch '-co'. 2) There is a vulnerability in the MIT-SHM extension within all X servers that are running as root. Any user with local X access can exploit the MIT-SHM extension and gain read/write access to any shared memory segment on the system. *** This test relied on the banner of the remote system *** to acertain that it is a SCO Unix server, so this alert *** might be a false positive More information can be found at: http://www.cve.mitre.org/cgi-bin/cvename.cgi?name=CVE-2002-0158 http://marc.theaimsgroup.com/?l=bugtraq&m=101776858410652&w=2 http://www.cve.mitre.org/cgi-bin/cvename.cgi?name=CVE-2002-0164 http://marc.theaimsgroup.com/?l=bugtraq&m=103547625009363&w=2 http://www.securityfocus.com/bid/4396 Solution: Install the patched binaries from ftp://ftp.sco.com/pub/updates/OpenServer/CSSA-2003-SCO.26 Network Security Threat Level: High Networks Security ID: 4396, 4985 Vulnerability Assessment Copyright: This script is Copyright (C) 2003 Tenable Network Security |
