As well, Steve Kemp previously discovered a buffer overflow in xpcd-svga that could be triggered by a long HOME environment variable, which could be exploited by a local attacker to obtain root privileges. The updated packages resolve these vulnerabilities. _______________________________________________________________________ References: http://cve.mitre.org/cgi-bin/cvename.cgi?name=CAN-2003-0649 http://cve.mitre.org/cgi-bin/cvename.cgi?name=CAN-2004-0402 ______________________________________________________________________ Updated Packages: Mandrakelinux 10.0: 95c59861d1efef825ab730cba2691365 10.0/RPMS/xpcd-2.08-20.1.100mdk.i586.rpm 3114811e46e3a4b82e053894f153643d 10.0/RPMS/xpcd-gimp-2.08-20.1.100mdk.i586.rpm b3df76a539187146894f18d67a2967fd 10.0/SRPMS/xpcd-2.08-20.1.100mdk.src.rpm Mandrakelinux 10.0/AMD64: 50261e00a816e5621ce37d0f6320a941 amd64/10.0/RPMS/xpcd-2.08-20.1.100mdk.amd64.rpm 4362a1d3211af0c386aef08abfc74cc6 amd64/10.0/RPMS/xpcd-gimp-2.08-20.1.100mdk.amd64.rpm b3df76a539187146894f18d67a2967fd amd64/10.0/SRPMS/xpcd-2.08-20.1.100mdk.src.rpm Mandrakelinux 9.2: 907efca9e8de1fc9489755c919c51b8b 9.2/RPMS/xpcd-2.08-20.1.92mdk.i586.rpm 41078887e2d6bf60d376540653e997f7 9.2/RPMS/xpcd-gimp-2.08-20.1.92mdk.i586.rpm 9e2a2741fb7130324737a9262dbe8afb 9.2/SRPMS/xpcd-2.08-20.1.92mdk.src.rpm Mandrakelinux 9.2/AMD64: 4f434cc67c282744664a14e285b24e9e amd64/9.2/RPMS/xpcd-2.08-20.1.92mdk.amd64.rpm 7b6d9c0dfe83763823cc007f0956b173 amd64/9.2/RPMS/xpcd-gimp-2.08-20.1.92mdk.amd64.rpm 9e2a2741fb7130324737a9262dbe8afb amd64/9.2/SRPMS/xpcd-2.08-20.1.92mdk.src.rpm _______________________________________________________________________ To upgrade automatically use MandrakeUpdate or urpmi.
