CVE-2005-0138
First published: Wed Sep 21 2005(Updated: )
rpc.mountd in SGI IRIX 6.5.25, 6.5.26, and 6.5.27 does not correctly allow access to anonymous clients that connect from a system whose hostname can not be determined. NOTE: while this issue occurs in a security mechanism, there is no apparent attacker role and probably does not satisfy the CVE definition of a vulnerability.
