Security readout for executives and security teams
CVE-1999-0696 is a reported buffer overflow in the legacy CDE Calendar Manager service daemon, rpc.cmsd. The provided sources do not identify affected versions, CVSS severity, or confirmed active exploitation. Organizations should treat this as a legacy Unix service exposure issue and verify whether rpc.cmsd still exists in their environment. Most likely exposure is older Unix or CDE deployments where rpc.cmsd is installed and running. The provided CVE data lists affected vendor, product, and versions as unknown, so exposure must be determined by asset inventory and service discovery. Prioritize as a legacy risk discovery item, not as a confirmed emergency from the supplied evidence. If rpc.cmsd is exposed on production or unsupported systems, escalate remediation because buffer overflows in daemons can carry serious operational risk. Mitigation focus: Check Sun, HP, and CIAC advisories for platform-specific fixes or workarounds.; Inventory legacy CDE systems and confirm whether rpc.cmsd is installed or running.; Disable rpc.cmsd where the CDE calendar service is not required..
