Description

The rpc service rpc.statd, shipped with all major versions of Sun's Solaris operating system, is the status monitoring service for NFS file locking. The vulnerability lies in rpc.statd's ability to relay rpc calls to other rpc services without being validated by the access controls of the other rpc services. This can give the attacker the ability to redirect malicious rpc commands through rpc.statd (which runs as root) to services they may not normally have access to.
