Re: Exploit of rpc.cmsd

105566-06 was installed on our machine that was hit, When I reported it
to Sun I recieved e-mail that they are working on a fresh fix, and it'll
be available 'soon'.   Perhaps this time they'll fix all the buffer
overflows.  Luckly the twerp that went after my machine was a clueless
twit and didn't know what he was about, also the machine was fairly well
protected agains the common forms of attack.

I want to point out that there is a rather fresh 105566-07 for Solaris
2.6 which claims "4230754 Possible buffer overflows in rpc.cmsd" fixed.
There is rather old 103670-03 for Solaris 2.5[.1] which claims "1264389
rpc.cmsd security problem." fixed. Then there is 104976-03 claiming
"1265008 : Solaris 2.x rpc.cmsd vulnerabity" fixed. Are these the ones
you refer to as "patched versions" and "could be problematic"?

Andy.
