- --- Issue Specifics ---
- -----------------------

Adam Gowdiak from the Poznan Supercomputing and Networking Center
has reported that under certain conditions non privileged users
can use the syssgi system call SGI_IOPROBE to read and write kernel memory
which can be used to obtain root user privileges.

SGI has assigned the following Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures
(cve.mitre.org) name to the syssgi SGI_IOPROBE vulnerability:
http://cve.mitre.org/cgi-bin/cvename.cgi?name=CAN-2004-0135

Two local DoS fixes are also addressed in these patches:
* 912601: corrupted binary can crash the system in mapelf32exec()
  http://cve.mitre.org/cgi-bin/cvename.cgi?name=CAN-2004-0136

* 907407: init can panic due to page invalidation issues
  http://cve.mitre.org/cgi-bin/cvename.cgi?name=CAN-2004-0137

SGI has investigated the issue and recommends the following steps for
resolving this issue.  It is HIGHLY RECOMMENDED that these measures
be implemented on ALL vulnerable SGI systems.  This issue has been
corrected in future releases of IRIX.


- --------------
- --- Impact ---
- --------------

To determine the version of IRIX you are running, execute the following
command:

  # /bin/uname -R

That will return a result similar to the following:

  # 6.5 6.5.21f

The first number ("6.5") is the release name, the second ("6.5.21f" in
this case) is the extended release name.  The extended release name
is the "version" we refer to throughout this document.


- ----------------
- --- Solution ---
- ----------------

SGI has provided a series of patches for these vulnerabilities.
Our recommendation is to upgrade to IRIX 6.5.25, or install the
appropriate patches.
