CVE-2006-6010
Official description Straight from the sourceThe vendor's or NVD's own wording, published unedited. Authoritative, but often terse — it says what broke, rarely what to do.
NVD · uneditedSAP allows remote attackers to obtain potentially sensitive information such as operating system and SAP version via an RFC_SYSTEM_INFO RfcCallReceive request, a different vulnerability than CVE-2003-0747.
Technical summary Written by usOur analysis, written from the advisory, the CVSS vector and the affected-version data. It adds context the advisory leaves out, and never invents facts that are not in the source.
dbcve analysis · moderate confidenceSAP systems expose the RFC_SYSTEM_INFO function module via the RFC interface, allowing remote unauthenticated attackers to retrieve sensitive system information including operating system details and SAP version through the RfcCallReceive request. This information disclosure could aid in further targeted attacks against the SAP infrastructure.

Am I affected? How to checkSteps we derive from the advisory and the affected-version data, so you can decide whether this CVE reaches your setup. They are a guide, not a scan — your own configuration is the authority.
dbcve checksWork through these to decide whether this CVE applies to you.
-
Identify RFC-enabled listenersCheck SAP system for processes listening on RFC ports (commonly ports 3300, 3301, 4800, or SAP Gateway port 33xx). Use netstat or similar network tools to enumerate open ports on the SAP host.Affected if RFC-enabled network services are exposed externally or to untrusted networks
-
Verify RFC_SYSTEM_INFO function exposureSend an RfcCallReceive request targeting the RFC_SYSTEM_INFO function module to the exposed RFC interface. This can be done using SAP RFC SDK, librfc, or custom tooling that constructs the RFC protocol request.Affected if The function module responds with system information (OS type, SAP version) without requiring authentication
-
Check RFC authorization configurationExamine SAP profile parameters and RFC security settings (e.g., sec/rfc/authentication_check, gw/accept_sapgui_remotes). Look at the ACL files on the SAP Gateway for allowed external callers.Affected if RFC access is permitted without authentication or from untrusted external hosts
-
Confirm SAP Web Application Server is presentIdentify if the host runs SAP Web Application Server by checking for SAP processes (disp+work, msg_server, enserver) or SAP-related services. Confirm SAP version via SAP system information utilities or logs.Affected if SAP Web Application Server (any version) is installed and the RFC interface is network-accessible
The environment is affected if SAP Web Application Server is running with an accessible RFC interface that permits unauthenticated calls to the RFC_SYSTEM_INFO function module, allowing remote attackers to retrieve sensitive system information.

Remediation Closing itWhat it takes to close this. Where a vendor fix exists we point at it; where none exists we say so plainly, and can build one. Effort estimates are scoped from the advisory, not from your codebase.
From vendor dataRestrict access to the RFC interface by implementing proper authentication controls, or disable the RFC_SYSTEM_INFO function module if not required for business operations. Network-level filtering to limit RFC port access to trusted systems is also recommended.
