SunOS ypserv domain guessing Vulnerability
Solution: Apply Sun Patch ID 100482-08. This patch enables "ypserv" to use the file /var/yp/securenets and, if present, only responds to IP addresses in the range given. This file is only read when the daemon starts. To get a change in /var/yp/securenets to take effect, one must kill and restart the daemons. The format of the file is one of more lines of: netmask netaddr e.g. 255.255.0.0 128.30.0.0 255.255.255.0 128.311.10.0 In the 2nd example, the netmask is 255.255.255.0 and the network address is 128.311.10.0 . This setup will only allow the ypserv to respond to those IP addresses which are within the subnet 128.311.10 range. |
