CVE-2005-0359 is a vulnerability of currently unknown severity. The Legato PortMapper in EMC Legato NetWorker, Sun Solstice Backup 6.0 and 6.1, and StorEdge Enterprise Backup 7.0 through 7.2 does not restrict access to the pmap_set and pmap_unset commands, which allows remote attackers to (1) cause a denial of service by using pmap_unset to un-register a NetWorker service, or (2) obtain sensitive information from NetWorker services by using pmap_set to register a new service.. EPSS estimates a 4.29% chance of exploitation in the next 30 days.
