1. Problem Description
Several security bugs were discovered in the rpc.ttdbserverd
program that allow an attacker to overwrite memory in the
program as well as force the program to create and delete
arbitrary files on the system. Some of these vulnerabilities
are remotely exploitable.
This update adds a fix for an additional vulnerability: a
buffer overflow described by CERT CA-2002-26.
2. Vulnerable Supported Versions
