ATMSNMPD Vulnerable but not Addressed

[Ross Coppage <coppager () scott disa mil>]

ATMSNMPD vulnerable???? Yep! I am challenging anyone out 
there to find information on line stating that Sun's 
ATMSNMPD is vulnerable to attack.  As of today May 13 2002 
there is no information identifying this fact.  If you are 
running SunATM 4.0 or 5.0 and have not added the patches 
below you are vulnerable to attack.  Is there sun 
documentation identifying the vulnerability and the urgent 
need to implement the patch?  As of today there is not.
Sun still has not publicly released this info.  Why I don't 
know.  I had to research the heck out of this to get this 
answer.  See below for more info.
Patches:  
107915-13: SunATM 4.0 Update1: bug fixes 
109039-09: SunATM 5.0: bug fixes

(SEE BELOW FOR DETAILS)

Hi Ross,

Thanks for the information, but do you have the patch IDs? 
Could you
include that in a new message to the list?
