-

Xrefs:

DSA:672

Description:

Erik Sj÷lund discovered that programs linked against xview are
vulnerable to a number of buffer overflows in the XView library. When
the overflow is triggered in a program which is installed setuid root
a malicious user could perhaps execute arbitrary code as privileged
user.
For the stable distribution (woody) these problems have been fixed in
version 3.2p1.4-16woody2.
For the unstable distribution (sid) these problems have been fixed in
version 3.2p1.4-19.
We recommend that you upgrade your xview packages.
