    			SCO Security Advisory
    
    Subject:		Linux: libpng progressive image loading vulnerabilities and other buffer overflows
    Advisory number: 	CSSA-2002-042.0
    Issue date: 		2002 November 12
    Cross reference:
    ______________________________________________________________________________
    
    
    1. Problem Description
    
    	There are two buffer overflow vulnerabilities in the libpng code:
    	one of which can allow attackers to cause a denial of service,
    	and the other that can cause a denial of service with the
    	possibility of executing arbitrary code.
    
    
    2. Vulnerable Supported Versions
    
    	System				Package
    	----------------------------------------------------------------------
    
    	OpenLinux 3.1.1 Server		prior to libpng-1.0.15-5MR.i386.rpm
    					prior to libpng-devel-1.0.15-5MR.i386.rpm
    					prior to libpng-devel-static-1.0.15-5MR.i386.rpm
    
    	OpenLinux 3.1.1 Workstation	prior to libpng-1.0.15-5MR.i386.rpm
    					prior to libpng-devel-1.0.15-5MR.i386.rpm
    					prior to libpng-devel-static-1.0.15-5MR.i386.rpm
    
    	OpenLinux 3.1 Server		prior to libpng-1.0.15-5MR.i386.rpm
    					prior to libpng-devel-1.0.15-5MR.i386.rpm
    					prior to libpng-devel-static-1.0.15-5MR.i386.rpm
    
    	OpenLinux 3.1 Workstation	prior to libpng-1.0.15-5MR.i386.rpm
    					prior to libpng-devel-1.0.15-5MR.i386.rpm
    					prior to libpng-devel-static-1.0.15-5MR.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.
