Sadmind


The Sadmind worm was a computer worm which exploited vulnerabilities in both Sun Microsystems' Solaris and Microsoft's Internet Information Services, for which a patch had been made available seven months earlier. It was discovered on
May 8, 2001.
Specifically, the virus affected the sadmind daemon on Solaris systems which had sadmind enabled in inetd.conf, since the sadmind daemon normally ran with root privileges.
