Title: SGI IRIX IGMP Multicast Packet Denial of Service Vulnerability
Severity: HIGH
Description:
IRIX is a derivative of the UNIX Operating System distributed by SGI. It is designed for use on systems manufactured by SGI.
A problem with IRIX makes it possible for a remote user to deny service to legitimate users of the system. By sending malformed Internet Gateway Management Protocol packets to a vulnerable system, it is possible to cause the system to crash.
After receiving the malicious packets and crashing, it is also possible the system may not return to normal operation after crashing. This could require a manual reboot to resume normal operations.
Versions of IRIX prior 6.5.9 are no longer supported, and thus will not have a patch created.
