CVE-2004-1039: Sco Openserver

Medium severity, CVSS 5.0. EPSS: 1.6% chance of exploitation in the next 30 days.

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.

Affected products

• Sco Openserver: version 5.0.6 only; version 5.0.7 only
• Sco Unixware: version 7.1.1 only; version 7.1.3 only; version 7.1.4 only
