			SCO Security Advisory

Subject:		OpenLinux: rsync heap based overflow
Advisory number: 	CSSA-2004-010.0
Issue date: 		2004 March 02
Cross reference:	sr888533 fz528609 erg712514 CAN-2003-0962
______________________________________________________________________________


1. Problem Description

	Heap-based buffer overflow in rsync before 2.5.7, when running in
	server mode, allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code
	and possibly escape the chroot jail. 

	The Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures project (cve.mitre.org) 
	has assigned the name CAN-2003-0962 to this issue.


2. Vulnerable Supported Versions

	System				Package
	----------------------------------------------------------------------
	OpenLinux 3.1.1 Server		prior to rsync-2.5.7-1.i386.rpm
	OpenLinux 3.1.1 Workstation	prior to rsync-2.5.7-1.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.
