CONECTIVA LINUX SECURITY ANNOUNCEMENT
PACKAGE : dump
SUMMARY : Buffer overflow in restore
DATE : 2000-06-30
AFFECTED CONECTIVA VERSIONS : 4.0, 4.0es, 4.1, 4.2 and 5.0
DESCRIPTION
There is a buffer overflow in the restore program < 0.4b17. Being
SUID root in our default installation, an attacker can exploit this
to gain root privileges. There was also an issue where the computer
could be in a non-response state for a few seconds.
SOLUTION
All users of this package should upgrade immediately.
Thanks to Stelian Pop for providing the fixes.
