                 Date:                   December 29, 1999
                 Cross-Ref:              CERT CA-99-16

                 ARISING OUT OF THE USE OF OR INABILITY TO USE THE INFORMATION CONTAINED IN 
                 THIS SECURITY BULLETIN, EVEN IF SUN MICROSYSTEMS, INC. HAS BEEN ADVISED OF 
                 THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES. If any of the above provisions are held to be in violation of applicable law,

                 such jurisdiction. 1. Bulletins Topics Sun announces the release of patches for Solaris(tm) 7, 2.6, 2.5.1,
                     2.5, 2.4, and 2.3 (SunOS(tm) 5.7, 5.6, 5.5.1, 5.5, 5.4 and 5.3), which 
                     relate to a vulnerability with sadmind. Sun recommends that you install the patches listed in section 4 
                     immediately on systems running SunOS 5.7, 5.6, 5.5.1, and 5.5 and 
                     on systems with Solstice AdminSuite (AdminSuite) installed. If you have 
                     installed a version of AdminSuite prior to version 2.3, please upgrade 
                     to AdminSuite 2.3 before installing the AdminSuite patches listed in 
                     section 4. Sun also recommends that you: - disable sadmind if you do not use it by commenting the 
                       following line in /etc/inetd.conf: 100232/10 tli rpc/udp wait root /usr/sbin/sadmind sadmind - set the security level used to authenticate requests to STRONG
                       as follows, if you use sadmind: 100232/10 tli rpc/udp wait root /usr/sbin/sadmind sadmind -S 2 The above changes to /etc/inetd.conf will take effect after inetd
                       receives a hang-up signal. 2. Who is Affected Vulnerable:     SunOS 5.7, 5.7_x86, 5.6, 5.6_x86, 5.5.1, 5.5.1_x86, 
                                           5.5, 5.5_x86, and 
                                           5.4, 5.4_x86, and 5.3 with AdminSuite installed Not vulnerable: All other supported versions of SunOS. 3. Understanding the Vulnerability The sadmind program is installed by default on SunOS 5.7, 5.6, 5.5.1, 
                     and 5.5. In SunOS 5.4 and 5.3, sadmind may be installed if the 
                     Solstice AdminSuite packages are installed. The sadmind program 
                     is installed in /usr/sbin. The program can be used to perform 
                     distributed system administration operations remotely. A buffer overflow
                     vulnerability has been discovered in sadmind which may be exploited by 
                     a remote attacker to execute arbitrary instructions and gain root access. 4. List of Patches The following patches are available in relation to the above problem. OS Version          Patch ID SunOS 5.7           108662-01
