Security readout for executives and security teams
CVE-2004-1890 is a remote denial-of-service issue in SGI IRIX ftpd. A remote attacker could cause the FTP service to hang using PORT mode. The known affected range is IRIX 6.5.20 through 6.5.23. This matters mainly for organizations still operating legacy SGI systems with FTP enabled. Exposure is likely limited to legacy SGI IRIX hosts running affected versions with ftpd enabled, especially if FTP is reachable from untrusted networks. Modern environments without SGI IRIX are unlikely to be affected. Treat as a legacy-service availability risk. Prioritize if affected SGI systems support business operations or expose FTP to untrusted users. Otherwise, handle through legacy asset cleanup and network hardening. Mitigation focus: Identify any SGI IRIX 6.5.20 through 6.5.23 systems.; Disable ftpd if FTP is not required.; Restrict FTP access to trusted networks only..
