			SCO Security Advisory

Subject:		Linux: slocate command line buffer overflows
Advisory number: 	CSSA-2003-009.0
Issue date: 		2003 March 06
Cross reference:
______________________________________________________________________________


1. Problem Description

	The slocate command suffers from two command line buffer
	overflows.


2. Vulnerable Supported Versions

	System				Package
	----------------------------------------------------------------------

	OpenLinux 3.1.1 Server		prior to slocate-2.6-3.i386.rpm

	OpenLinux 3.1.1 Workstation	prior to slocate-2.6-3.i386.rpm

	OpenLinux 3.1 Server		prior to slocate-2.6-3.i386.rpm

	OpenLinux 3.1 Workstation	prior to slocate-2.6-3.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.
