Subject:		UnixWare 7.1.4 UnixWare 7.1.3 UnixWare 7.1.1 : RPCBind updated to prevent remote Denial of Service attack
Advisory number: 	SCOSA-2005.31
Issue date: 		2005 July 27
Cross reference:	sr894043 fz532477 erg712862 CAN-CAN-2005-2132
______________________________________________________________________________


1. Problem Description

	While testing UnixWare 7.x against CVE CAN-2001-1124, Yun
	Jonglim noticed that UnixWare rpcbind exhibits unexpected
	behaviour after successive attacks.

	When the UnixWare 7.x version of the RPC portmapper(rpcbind)
	receives an invalid portmap request from a remote (or local)
	host, it falls into a denial of service state and cannot
	respond. As a result, the RPC services will not operate
	normally.

	The Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures project
	(cve.mitre.org) has assigned the following names for these
	issues: CAN-CAN-2005-2132.


2. Vulnerable Supported Versions

	System				Binaries
