I briefly searched the bugtraq archives and didn't see this one, so here's a way to reboot a Solaris box, and is exploitable by anyone with an account on the system since ping is setuid root. ping -sv -i 127.0.0.1 224.0.0.1
Patches claiming to fix this were posted on ftp://sunsolve1.sun.com/pub/patches today: 103630-09: SunOS 5.5.1: ip ifconfig arp udp icmp patch 103631-09: SunOS 5.5.1_x86: ip ifconfig arp udp icmp patch 103169-12: SunOS 5.5: arp,ip,udp,icmp driver and ifconfig fixes 103170-12: SunOS 5.5_x86: arp,ip,udp,icmp driver, ifconfig fixes I don't see patches for earlier releases yet, but since the affected files on those OS'es have already been put into the kernel jumbo patch, presumably the fixes will appear in future versions of their kernel jumbo patches (which take a lot longer to release due to the extra testing required for making such major changes to the OS). ________________________________________________________________________ Alan Coopersmith alanc () godzilla EECS Berkeley EDU Univ. of California at Berkeley http://soar.Berkeley.EDU/~alanc/ aka: alanc@{CSUA,OCF,CS,BMRC,ucsee.eecs,cory.eecs,server}.Berkeley.EDU
