High

Base vector

AV:N/AC:L/Au:N/C:P/I:P/A:P

Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions: SGI versions 6.5.21m and 6.5.21f

Description: The issue concerns a configuration where NFS in SGI does not perform access checks when an /etc/exports entry uses wildcards without any hostnames or groups. This could allow attackers to bypass intended restrictions.

Recommendations: For versions 6.5.21m and 6.5.21f, consider modifying /etc/exports entries to include specific hostnames or groups instead of using wildcards to enforce access restrictions. As a temporary workaround, restrict access to sensitive resources shared through NFS until a more permanent solution is applied.
