| Detailed Description |
The "day5datacopier.cgi" CGI is installed in the web server. This CGI has a well known security flaw that lets anyone execute arbitrary commands with the privileges of the http daemon (root or nobody).
The handler program is a part of Outbox Environment Subsystem, IRIX, and installed as a default to every SGI system over IRIX 6.2. An old version of IRIX may have installed this package as an option.

| Recommendation |
Disable the CGI in the IRIX Outbox Environment Subsystem and download a patch from SGI and install it.
For disabling scripts follow this,
#/bin/chmod 400 / var/www/cgi-bin/day5datacopier.cgi
(In case /var/www is a default install Patch)
# /usr/sbin/versions -v remove outbox (remove outbox subsystem) |
