			SCO Security Advisory

Subject:		OpenLinux: screen buffer overflow
Advisory number: 	CSSA-2004-011.0
Issue date: 		2004 March 02
Cross reference:	sr888392 fz528595 erg712512 CAN-2003-0972
______________________________________________________________________________


1. Problem Description

	Integer signedness error in ansi.c for GNU screen 4.0.1 and 
	earlier, and 3.9.15 and earlier, could allows local users to 
	execute arbitrary code via a large number of characters in 
	escape sequences, which leads to a buffer overflow.

	The Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures project (cve.mitre.org) 
	has assigned the name CAN-2003-0972 to this issue.


2. Vulnerable Supported Versions

	System				Package
	----------------------------------------------------------------------
	OpenLinux 3.1.1 Server		prior to screen-3.9.10-2.i386.rpm
	OpenLinux 3.1.1 Workstation	prior to screen-3.9.10-2.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.
