                    Mandrake Linux Security Update Advisory
    ________________________________________________________________________
    
    Package name:           mod_frontpage
    Advisory ID:            MDKSA-2002:021
    Date:                   March 7th, 2002
    Affected versions:      8.0, 8.1
    ________________________________________________________________________
    
    Problem Description:
    
     A problem was found in versions of improved mod_frontpage prior to
     1.6.1 regarding a lack of boundary checks in fpexec.c.  This means that
     the suid root binary is exploitable for buffer overflows.  This could
     be exploited by remote attackers to execute arbitrary code on the
     server with superuser privileges.  Although there are no known exploits
     available, if you use mod_frontpage you are strongly encouraged to
     upgrade.
    
     This update for Mandrake Linux has been completely reworked and is
     easier to configure and use, as well as supporting the new FrontPage
     2002 extensions.
