Re: BIG Security Hole in Solaris 2.X (X)passwd + exploit

Hi,

The exploit doesn't work on my 2.5 box. But it does work on my
2.5.1 box (with all the recommended patch .. as of 16 Feb 97 ..
which includes 103612-07).

So.. is there any fix from Sun about this bug (passwd).. and also
the ffbconfig bug. Or does the FFB patch fix it?

I tried the exploit and it did not work in machines patched
with 103187-09  (Solaris 2.5) or 103612-06  (Solaris 2.5.1).

Could some verify this?
