Subject:                UnixWare 7.1.1 Open UNIX 8.0.0 : REVISED: rpc.ttdbserverd file creation/deletion and buffer

Advisory number:        CSSA-2002-SCO.28.1
Issue date:             2002 August 19

1. Problem Description

        Several security bugs were discovered in the rpc.ttdbserverd
        program that allow an attacker to overwrite memory in the
        program as well as force the program to create and delete
        arbitrary files on the system. Some of these vulnerabilities
        are remotely exploitable.

        This update adds a fix for an additional vulnerability: a
        buffer overflow described by CERT CA-2002-26.


2. Vulnerable Supported Versions
