			SCO Security Advisory

Subject:		Linux: CVS double free vulnerability
Advisory number: 	CSSA-2003-006.0
Issue date: 		2003 January 31
Cross reference:
______________________________________________________________________________


1. Problem Description

	Double-free vulnerabiity in CVS allows remote attackers to cause
	a denial of service and possibly execute arbitrary code via a
	malformed Directory request.


2. Vulnerable Supported Versions

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

	OpenLinux 3.1.1 Server		prior to cvs-1.11-9.i386.rpm
					prior to cvs-doc-ps-1.11-9.i386.rpm

	OpenLinux 3.1.1 Workstation	prior to cvs-1.11-9.i386.rpm
					prior to cvs-doc-ps-1.11-9.i386.rpm

	OpenLinux 3.1 Server		prior to cvs-1.11-9.i386.rpm
					prior to cvs-doc-ps-1.11-9.i386.rpm

	OpenLinux 3.1 Workstation	prior to cvs-1.11-9.i386.rpm
					prior to cvs-doc-ps-1.11-9.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.
