* Software Information
--------------------
Model : NetFORCE 800
Version : 4.02 M10 (Build 20)
Vendor : Procom Technology, Inc.
Description:
NetFORCE?s operating system on the NAS includes the ability to send a
diagnostic e-mail with a wealth of information to the technician to be able to
diagnose problems without providing direct remote access. This diagnostic
email includes output from various programs, statistical reports, and several
file attachments.
One of these file attachments (passwd.nis) includes the NIS password map of any
domain it is bound to, happily sending the entire domains fscking password
hashes in the clear across the Internet over sendmail. This doesn?t impact you
if you don?t use NIS as the other files that include user information ?blank?
out the password information.
NetFORCE sold its intellectual property to Sun and Sun uses the same systems to
base their NAS solution off of. Because the NetFORCE website no longer has
software versioning information, it is not possible to test on other versions
or determine which versions are or are not vulnerable.
