SCO Security Advisory
Subject: OpenLinux: file command buffer overflow
Advisory number: CSSA-2003-018.0
Issue date: 2003 April 28
Cross reference:
______________________________________________________________________________
1. Problem Description
The file command is vulnerable to a buffer overflow when given
a maliciously crafted binary to examine.
2. Vulnerable Supported Versions
System Package
----------------------------------------------------------------------
OpenLinux 3.1.1 Server prior to file-3.28-8.i386.rpm
OpenLinux 3.1.1 Workstation prior to file-3.28-8.i386.rpm
OpenLinux 3.1 Server prior to file-3.28-8.i386.rpm
OpenLinux 3.1 Workstation prior to file-3.28-8.i386.rpm
3. Solution
The proper solution is to install the latest packages. Many
customers find it easier to use the Caldera System Updater, called
cupdate (or kcupdate under the KDE environment), to update these
packages rather than downloading and installing them by hand.
