Sadmind

The Sadmind worm was a computer worm which exploited vulnerabilities in both Sun Microsystems' Solaris (Security Bulletin 00191) and Microsoft's Internet Information Services (MS00-078), 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, due to the fact that the sadmind daemon normally ran with root privileges.
