Solaris finger disclosure |
||
Enumerates users with finger Detailed Explanation for this Vulnerability Assessment There is a bug in the remote finger service which, when triggered, permits a user to force the remote finger daemon to display the list of the accounts that have never been used, by issuing the request : finger 'a b c d e f g h'@target This list will help a possible hacker to guess the operating system type. It will also tell him which accounts have never been used, which will often make him focus his attacks on these accounts. Solution : disable the finger service in /etc/inetd.conf and restart the inetd process, or apply the relevant patches from Sun Microsystems.
