    			SCO Security Advisory
    
    Subject:		Linux: RPC XDR buffer overflow
    Advisory number: 	CSSA-2002-055.0
    Issue date: 		2002 December 04
    Cross reference:
    ______________________________________________________________________________
    
    
    1. Problem Description
    
    	The implementation of xdr_array can be tricked into writing
    	beyond the buffers it allocated when deserializing the XDR stream.
    
    
    2. Vulnerable Supported Versions
    
    	System				Package
    	----------------------------------------------------------------------
    
    	OpenLinux 3.1.1 Server		prior to glibc-2.2.4-25.i386.rpm
    					prior to glibc-devel-2.2.4-25.i386.rpm
    					prior to glibc-devel-static-2.2.4-25.i386.rpm
    					prior to glibc-localedata-2.2.4-25.i386.rpm
    
    	OpenLinux 3.1.1 Workstation	prior to glibc-2.2.4-25.i386.rpm
    					prior to glibc-devel-2.2.4-25.i386.rpm
    					prior to glibc-devel-static-2.2.4-25.i386.rpm
    					prior to glibc-localedata-2.2.4-25.i386.rpm
    
    	OpenLinux 3.1 Server		prior to glibc-2.2.4-25.i386.rpm
    					prior to glibc-devel-2.2.4-25.i386.rpm
    					prior to glibc-devel-static-2.2.4-25.i386.rpm
    					prior to glibc-localedata-2.2.4-25.i386.rpm
    
    	OpenLinux 3.1 Workstation	prior to glibc-2.2.4-25.i386.rpm
    					prior to glibc-devel-2.2.4-25.i386.rpm
    					prior to glibc-devel-static-2.2.4-25.i386.rpm
    					prior to glibc-localedata-2.2.4-25.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.
