			SCO Security Advisory

Subject:		OpenLinux: Integer overflow may allow local users to cause a denial of service or possibly execute arbitrary code
Advisory number: 	CSSA-2004-006.0
Issue date: 		2004 March 01
Cross reference: 	sr886799 fz528469 erg712481 CAN-2003-0854 CAN-2003-0853

1. Problem Description

	The Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures project (cve.mitre.org)
	has assigned the following names to these issues: 

	CAN-2003-0854	ls in the fileutils or coreutils packages allows 
	local users to consume a large amount of memory via a large -w 
	value, which can be remotely exploited via applications that use 
	ls, such as wu-ftpd. 

	CAN-2003-0853 An integer overflow in ls in the fileutils or 
	coreutils packages may allow local users to cause a denial of 
	service or execute arbitrary code via a large -w value, which 
	could be remotely exploited via applications that use ls, such 
	as wu-ftpd.


2. Vulnerable Supported Versions

	System				Package
	----------------------------------------------------------------------
	OpenLinux 3.1.1 Server		prior to fileutils-4.1-6.i386.rpm
	OpenLinux 3.1.1 Workstation	prior to fileutils-4.1-6.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.
