WireX will shortly be releasing some new security advisories. However,
we are changing our security announcement procedures. Hence forth,
advisories will be sent from "security@wirex.com", and updates will be
signed with WireX's new corporate GPG key:
pub 1024D/AD1454CB 2001-05-24 WireX Communications, Inc. <security@wirex.com>
Key fingerprint = 8E4B 16B8 6D72 E044 1204 E502 5507 162F AD14 54CB
The full key can be found here http://www.wirex.com/security/GPG_KEY

P.S. My apologies for the many copies of the FormatGuard announcement
you may have received. That was an unforseen consequence of my
cross-posting the announcement to separate moderated mailing lists.
Never do that :-)

Immunix OS Security Advisory

Description:
Tim Robbins and zenith parsec found a buffer overflow in
the version of man included in all versions of Immunix OS. See
http://marc.theaimsgroup.com/?l=linux-security-audit&m=97135291522462&w=2
and http://www.securityfocus.com/archive/1/184534. Because this
buffer overflow does not occur on the stack, StackGuard does not
prevent this from being exploited.
Immunix OS 6.2 users should note that they need to apply the mktemp
update as well. The updated mktemp package provides the "-d"
parameter to safely create temporary directories.

Description:
Mario Lorenz discovered a possible buffer overflow in the kerberos
gssapi-aware ftpd in the krb5-workstation package that is included
in all versions of Immunix OS. It is believed at this time that
StackGuard prevents the exploitation of this vulnerability; however,
in the absence of an exploit to test against, we recommend that all
users of the kerberos packages update their installation.

Description:
fish stiqz of Synnergy Networks recently discovered a format
flaw in the version of GnuPG included in all versions of Immunix
OS. Please see http://www.securityfocus.com/archive/1/187352 for
more information. Because the flaw occurs in a call to the gnupg
internal function tty_printf, FormatGuard does not protect against
this vulnerability. A new version of GnuPG, 1.0.6, has been released
to fix this problem.
All Immunix OS users are encouraged to upgrade to this latest version.
