Most of the links lead to the corresponding files at CERT or
other organisations. So changes take place immediately,
especially which patches should be installed or which changes
in the configuration should be made to avoid this vulnerability.
Some of the files are transferred by FTP.
By the way: If we're not publishing well-known risks
inheritant in any widely used platform or program that
doesn't mean this particular platform or program is safe
to use!

The libc RPC implementation of IBM AIX 4.3.x, 5.1.0 and 5.2.0 is susceptible to a Denial-of-Service attack. An attacker can send a carefully crafted RPC request to cause the RPC code to block and wait for further data. Using this knowledge, an attacker can construct a low bitrate stream of requests that can cause the RPC code to block indefinitely thereby denying access to any RPC services. IBM has published an emergency fix to solve this problem. |
