CVE-2005-0138

High
Published: Translated: NVD NIST

Summary

In SGI IRIX 6.5.25, 6.5.26, and 6.5.27, the rpc.mountd service incorrectly grants access to anonymous clients whose hostname cannot be determined. This issue occurs in a security mechanism, but there is no apparent attacker role and it probably does not satisfy the CVE definition of a vulnerability.

Risk Assessment

The risk is low as no attack scenario has been identified, and the issue may lead to unauthorized access only under specific network conditions.

Recommendation

It is recommended to upgrade the system to a newer version of IRIX or apply security patches from the vendor if available.
