Security readout for executives and security teams
CVE-2004-1889 affects the FTP daemon on SGI IRIX 6.5.20 through 6.5.23. A remote attacker could cause the FTP service to hang, creating a denial of service. This is mainly urgent for organizations still operating legacy IRIX systems with FTP reachable from users or networks. Exposure is likely limited to legacy SGI IRIX systems running ftpd on versions 6.5.20 through 6.5.23, especially where FTP is network-accessible. Modern environments are unlikely to be affected unless they retain IRIX for specialized workloads. Treat as a targeted legacy-system availability risk. Prioritize if IRIX FTP supports business-critical operations or is reachable beyond a tightly controlled network. Otherwise, handle through legacy risk reduction and decommissioning plans. Mitigation focus: Identify any SGI IRIX 6.5.20 through 6.5.23 systems running ftpd.; Restrict FTP exposure to trusted networks where business use remains required.; Disable ftpd if FTP is not required..
