Subject:		UnixWare 7.1.4 UnixWare 7.1.3 : ppp buffer overflow
Advisory number: 	SCOSA-2005.41
Issue date: 		2005 October 20
Cross reference:	sr894991 fz532994 erg712940 CAN-2005-2927

1. Problem Description

	iDEFENSE has identified a Buffer Overflow vulnerability in
	SCO Unixware ppp prompt. Local exploitation of a buffer
	overflow vulnerability in the ppp binary, allows attackers 
	to gain root privileges. 

	This could lead to the execution of arbitrary code with root
	privileges, as ppp is setuid root by default. 

	The Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures project (cve.mitre.org) 
	has assigned the following name CAN-2005-2927 to this issue.

2. Vulnerable Supported Versions

	System				Binaries
	----------------------------------------------------------------------
	UnixWare 7.1.4 			/usr/bin/ppptalk
	UnixWare 7.1.3 			/usr/bin/ppptalk

3. Solution

	The proper solution is to install the latest packages.
