A complete revision history is at the end of this file.
The CERT Coordination Center has learned of a vulnerability in /bin/logi= n. This vulnerability potentially affects all IBM AIX 3 systems and Linux s= ystems. At this time, we believe that only IBM AIX 3 and Linux systems are = at risk.
Included with this advisory is an appendix that lists the vendors who ha= ve responded to our inquiries, and the status of their investigation into t= his vulnerability report. We will update this advisory as we receive additi= onal information.

Frequently Asked Question about this CERT advisory:
Question: Why is rshd not mentioned in this advisory?
Answer: From the man page for RSH(1C):
rsh hostname [ -l username ] [ -n ] [ command ]rsh connects to the specified hostname and executes the specified co= mmand.
rsh hostname [ -l username ] [ -n ]Exploitation of the vulnerability via rsh requires the use of rlogin= d, which then invokes /bin/login.
CERT/CC are not aware of any exploitation method for this vulnerability = via the following usage:
rsh hostname [ -l username ] [ -n ] command
