                 Mandrakelinux Security Update Advisory
 _______________________________________________________________________

 Package name:           xpcd
 Advisory ID:            MDKSA-2004:053
 Date:                   June 1st, 2004

 Affected versions:      10.0, 9.2
 ______________________________________________________________________

 Problem Description:

 A vulnerability in xpcd-svga, part of xpcd, was discovered by Jaguar.
 xpcd-svga uses svgalib to display graphics on the console and it
 would copy user-supplied data of an arbitrary length into a fixed-size
 buffer in the pcd_open function.
 
 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.
