-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 - -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Trustix Secure Linux Security Advisory #2003-0014 Package name: glibc Summary: xdr / rpc Date: 2003-03-26 Affected versions: TSL 1.1, 1.2, 1.5 - -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Package description: The glibc package contains standard libraries which are used by multiple programs on the system. In order to save disk space and memory, as well as to make upgrading easier, common system code is kept in one place and shared between programs. This particular package contains the most important sets of shared libraries: the standard C library and the standard math library. Without these two libraries, a Linux system will not function. The glibc package also contains national language (locale) support and timezone databases. Problem description: An integer overflow was discovered in the xdrmem_getbytes() function of glibc 2.3.1 and earlier. This function is part of the XDR encoder/decoder derived from Sun's RPC implementation. This vulnerability might cause buffer overflows and could possibly be exploited to execute arbitray code. Action: We recommend that all systems with this package installed be upgraded.
