Description |
IRIX contains a flaw that may allow a malicious attacker to obtain a complete listing of files and directories on vulnerable systems. The issue is triggered when the File Altercation Monitor (fam) daemon is instructed by a program to monitor the root directory. It is possible that the flaw may allow retrieval of all files under the root directory, resulting in a loss of confidentiality.
