RPC SNMPXDMID overflow
advICE :Intrusions : 2001734

Summary

Probably attack against the SNMPXDMID buffer overflow vulnerability.

Details

Sun Solaris versions 2.6, 7, and 8 are vulnerable to a buffer overflow in the snmpXdmid daemon. The 'snmpXdmid' service is a mapping tool for SNMP and DMI (Desktop Management Interface) requests and is installed with root privileges. By causing the snmpXdmid daemon to translate a malformed DMI request into an SNMP trap, a remote attacker can overflow a buffer to gain root access to the system.
