Template:Infobox computer virus The Sadmind worm was a computer worm which exploited vulnerabilities in both Sun Microsystems' Solaris (Security Bulletin 00191, CVE-1999-0977) and Microsoft's Internet Information Services (MS00-078, CVE-2000-0884), for which a patch had been made available seven months earlier. It was discovered on May 8, 2001.[1]

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.[2]
