Debian Security Advisory DSA 676-1 [email protected]
http://www.debian.org/security/ Martin Schulze
February 11th, 2005 http://www.debian.org/security/faq
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------
Package : xpcd
Vulnerability : buffer overflow
Problem-Type : local
Debian-specific: no
CVE ID : CAN-2005-0074
Erik SjЖlund discovered a buffer overflow in pcdsvgaview, an SVGA
PhotoCD viewer. xpcd-svga is part of xpcd and uses svgalib to display
graphics on the Linux console for which root permissions are required.
A malicious user could overflow a fixed-size buffer and may cause the
program to execute arbitrary code with elevated privileges.
For the stable distribution (woody) this problem has been fixed in
version 2.08-8woody3.
For the unstable distribution (sid) this problem will be fixed soon.
We recommend that you upgrade your xpcd-svga package immediately.
