			SCO Security Advisory

Subject:		OpenLinux: wu-ftpd fb_realpath() off-by-one bug
Advisory number: 	CSSA-2003-024.0
Issue date: 		2003 September 26
Cross reference: 	sr882340 fz528117 erg712364
______________________________________________________________________________


1. Problem Description

	Wu-ftpd FTP server contains remotely exploitable off-by-one bug. A
	local or remote attacker could exploit this vulnerability to gain
	root privileges on a vulnerable system. The Common Vulnerabilities
	and Exposures project (cve.mitre.org) has assigned the name
	CAN-2003-0466 to this issue.


2. Vulnerable Supported Versions

	System				Package
	----------------------------------------------------------------------

	OpenLinux 3.1.1 Server			prior to wu-ftpd-2.6.1-14.i386.rpm

	OpenLinux 3.1.1 Workstation		prior to wu-ftpd-2.6.1-14.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.
