Security readout for executives and security teams
CVE-2002-0357 is a legacy SGI IRIX local privilege-escalation issue. A user who already has local access could abuse rpc.passwd in the NIS subsystem to gain root privileges. Business urgency is highest only where old IRIX systems remain in production, labs, or regulated environments. Exposure is likely limited to legacy SGI IRIX 6.5.15 or earlier systems with the nfs.sw.nis subsystem installed or rpc.passwd present. Risk requires local user access, so internet exposure alone is not indicated by the sources. Treat as high priority for any remaining IRIX assets because local root compromise can mean full system control. If no IRIX systems exist, no direct action is needed beyond asset-record confirmation. Mitigation focus: Identify any SGI IRIX 6.5.15 or earlier systems still in use.; Consult SGI advisory 20020601-01-P for vendor patch or workaround guidance.; Remove, disable, or restrict unnecessary NIS-related services where operationally safe..
