| Vector | AV:N/AC:L/Au:N/C:C/I:C/A:C |
Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions
IRIX versions 5.2 through 6.1
Description
The issue is related to the Telnetd telnet server, which does not properly clean user-injected format strings. This allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary commands via a long RLD variable in the IAC-SB-TELOPT ENVIRON request.
Recommendations
For IRIX versions 5.2 through 6.1, consider disabling the Telnetd service until a patch is available to prevent remote attackers from executing arbitrary commands. Restrict access to the IAC-SB-TELOPT ENVIRON request to minimize the risk of exploitation.
