COMMAND
restore0.9
SYSTEMS AFFECTED
NeXT Release 1.0 and 1.0a
PROBLEM
A script exists in /usr/etc/restore0.9 that is a setuid shell
script. The existence of this script is a potential security
problem.
The script is only needed during the installation process and
isn't needed for normal usage. It is possible for any logged in
user to gain root access.
SOLUTION
NeXT owners running Release 1.0 or 1.0a should remove
/usr/etc/restore0.9 from all disks. This file is installed by
the "BuildDisk" application, so it should be removed from all
systems built with the standard release disk, as well as from the
standard release disk itself (which will prevent the file from
being installed on system built with the standard release disk in
the future). You must be root to remove this script, and the
command that will remove the script is the following:
# /bin/rm /usr/etc/restore0.9
