SCO Security Advisory
Subject: UnixWare 7.1.1 Open UNIX 8.0.0 UnixWare 7.1.3 : Lax permissions on /dev/X Advisory number: CSSA-2003-SCO.4 Issue date: 2003 March 04 Cross reference: ______________________________________________________________________________
1. Problem Description
The /dev/X directory is world readable and writable, and the files in it are also world readable and writable. Denial-of-Service attacks are possible, as well as possible data hijacking. The X server sets these permissions when it starts up, so there is no workaround for this issue.
2. Vulnerable Supported Versions
System Binaries ---------------------------------------------------------------------- UnixWare 7.1.1 Standard X Distribution Open UNIX 8.0.0 Standard X Distribution UnixWare 7.1.3 Standard X Distribution
3. Solution
The proper solution is to install the latest packages.
4. UnixWare 7.1.1
4.1 Location of Fixed Binaries
ftp://ftp.sco.com/pub/updates/UnixWare/CSSA-2003-SCO.4
4.2 Verification
MD5 (basex.pkg.Z) = 510888d562f6c2249555fefdae94d49d MD5 (xserver.pkg.Z) = 74797f12d6e3e80300980854050f62ef
md5 is available for download from ftp://ftp.sco.com/pub/security/tools
4.3 Installing Fixed Binaries
Upgrade the affected binaries with the following sequence:
Download basex.pkg.Z to the /var/spool/pkg directory
# uncompress /var/spool/pkg/basex.pkg.Z # pkgadd -d /var/spool/pkg/basex.pkg
# uncompress /var/spool/pkg/xserver.pkg.Z # pkgadd -d /var/spool/pkg/xserver.pkg
5. Open UNIX 8.0.0
5.1 Location of Fixed Binaries
