xfsmd for IRIX 6.5 through 6.5.16 uses weak authentication, which allows remote attackers to call dangerous RPC functions, including those that can mount or unmount xfs file systems, to gain root privileges.

Security readout for executives and security teams

CVE-2002-0359 affects SGI IRIX systems running xfsmd in IRIX 6.5 through 6.5.16. Weak authentication can let a remote attacker invoke dangerous file-system management RPC functions and gain root privileges. This is mainly a legacy-system risk, but any exposed IRIX host should be treated as high urgency. Exposure is likely limited to legacy SGI IRIX environments. Risk is highest where xfsmd RPC services are reachable from untrusted networks or where old IRIX hosts remain in production, labs, manufacturing, or archival workflows. High for organizations with legacy IRIX assets. Affected exposed systems may allow remote root compromise. If no IRIX systems exist, business urgency is low; confirm through asset inventory rather than assuming absence. Mitigation focus: Identify IRIX 6.5 through 6.5.16 systems and determine whether xfsmd is enabled.; Review SGI advisory 20020606-01-I and apply vendor-provided fixes if available.; Restrict RPC access to trusted management networks only..
