Red Hat, Inc. Security Advisory
Synopsis: mopd-linux buffer overflow
Advisory ID: RHSA-2000:050-01
Issue date: 2000-08-08
Updated on: 2000-08-08
Product: Red Hat Powertools
Keywords: N/A
Cross references: N/A
---------------------------------------------------------------------
1. Topic:
A buffer overflow has been discovered in all releases of mopd-linux
included in the 6.0, 6.1, and 6.2 releases of Powertools.
2. Relevant releases/architectures:
Red Hat Powertools 6.0 - i386, alpha, sparc
Red Hat Powertools 6.1 - i386, alpha, sparc
Red Hat Powertools 6.2 - i386, alpha, sparc
3. Problem description:
This vulnerability allows long file names to be sent from the client
to the server, causing the buffer overflow.
The server also used filenames supplied from the client directly as a
part of a format string in a syslog function call.
4. Solution:
For each RPM for your particular architecture, run:
rpm -Fvh [filename]
where filename is the name of the RPM.
5. Bug IDs fixed (http://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla for more info):
