rPath Security Advisory: 2008-0241-1 Published: 2008-07-30 Products: rPath Linux 1 Rating: Major Exposure Level Classification: Remote Deterministic Unauthorized Access Updated Versions: openssl=conary.rpath.com@rpl:1-compat/0.9.7a-0.5-2 openssl-scripts=conary.rpath.com@rpl:1-compat/0.9.7a-0.5-2 rPath Issue Tracking System: https://issues.rpath.com/browse/RPL-1770 References: http://cve.mitre.org/cgi-bin/cvename.cgi?name=CVE-2007-5135 Description: Previous versions of the legacy openssl compatibility package are vulnerable to a buffer overflow, possibly enabling remote attackers to execute arbitrary code through applications that use the openssl libraries. This compatibility library was provided solely for transient compatibility with applications built for alpha releases of rPath Linux, to make it easier for alpha testers to upgrade their systems to rPath Linux 1. rPath is not aware of any applications that currently use these libraries, and so it is unlikely that any systems will actually be vulnerable to these attacks. http://wiki.rpath.com/Advisories:rPSA-2008-0241 Copyright 2008 rPath, Inc.
