ToolTalk.ttdbserverd.Access

Alias(es)

ToolTalk.ttdbserverd.TCP, ToolTalk.ttdbserverd.UDP

Release Date

Sep 11, 2006

Severity

high

Impact

Attackers can gain access to the victim system and execute arbitrary commands.

Description

This indicates detection of a request sent to the Common Desktop Environment (CDE) ToolTalk Remote Procedure Call (RPC) database server.

The ToolTalk architecture allows custom programs to communicate with each other over a network. ToolTalk-enabled programs communicate using RCP and are managed by the ToolTalk database server (rpc.ttdbserverd). There are many vulnerabilities in rpc.ttdbserverd that allow attackers to gain access to a target system or execute arbitrary code on it via specially-crafted RPC messages.

Affected Products

Any unprotected Unix based system with tooltalk database server enabled is vulnerable.

Recommended Actions

Apply the appropriate patch. Please see the References for more information.
