distcc
Nmap discovered a Distcc service on the target port 3632
The running service is distccd v1
distcc is a distributed compiler service that allows multiple machines to work together to compile code faster. It runs on port 3232 and listens for requests from client machines that want to offload compilation tasks to the server. By distributing the workload across multiple machines, distcc can greatly reduce compilation time and improve overall developer productivity.
If the service is not properly secured, an attacker could potentially gain access to the server and execute arbitrary code, steal sensitive data, or use the server as a launchpad for further attacks. Depending on the severity of the vulnerability, the attacker could potentially take over the entire network of machines running distcc. Therefore, it is crucial for server administrators to keep the distcc service updated and properly secured to prevent unauthorized access.
it’s running the version 1, which is known to be vulnerable to [[lame_exploitation#cve-2004-2687|CVE-2004-2687]]
While the vulnerability is extremely old, it would still be a good idea to check it.
