The NFS mountd service on SCO UnixWare 7.1.1, 7.1.3, 7.1.4, and 7.0.1, and possibly other versions, when run from inetd, allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (memory exhaustion) via a series of requests, which causes inetd to launch a separate process for each request.

Security readout for executives and security teams

CVE-2004-1039 is a denial-of-service issue in SCO UnixWare NFS mountd when started by inetd. Repeated remote requests can cause many processes to launch, exhausting memory and disrupting service. It affects legacy UnixWare versions listed in the CVE. There is no KEV listing or provided evidence of active exploitation. Exposure is most relevant for legacy SCO UnixWare systems running NFS mountd via inetd and reachable over untrusted networks. Internet-facing or broadly accessible NFS services carry higher operational risk. Treat as a legacy availability risk. Prioritize if SCO UnixWare supports critical operations or exposes NFS beyond trusted networks. If systems are isolated or retired, urgency is lower. Mitigation focus: Review SCO advisory SCOSA-2005.1 and apply vendor-recommended updates or configuration changes.; Limit NFS and mountd access to trusted networks only.; Disable NFS/mountd where not required for business operations..
