Description:
SGI has reported a vulnerability in IRIX, which can be exploited by malicious people to bypass access restrictions.
The vulnerability is caused due to an error in NFS, which may allow people to access restricted resources. This can be exploited on certain configurations where the "root,rw" access options in "/etc/exports" contain only IP addresses and domain name suffixes with wildcards and no explicit hostnames or netgroups.
The vulnerability only affects versions 6.5.21m/f.
