Hi, Yesterday, running sockstat I noticed that openicu listens on TCP port 4000. I was curious so I fed it with some zeroes from /dev/zero, and, it crashed like a charm. I'm suspecting buffer overflow which may allow an intruder to receive a shell on victim's machine. Looking at code advises that the port can be chosen from 4000-4100 range. I believe it needs to be checked and the port marked as FORBIDDEN meanwhile. Sorry if it's false alarm. --Roman Shterenzon, UNIX System Administrator and Consultant [ Xpert UNIX Systems Ltd., Herzlia, Israel.
