Package : xpcd
Vulnerability : buffer overflow
Problem-Type : local
Debian-specific: no
CVE Ids : CAN-2004-0402

Jaguar discovered a vulnerability in one component of xpcd, a PhotoCD viewer. xpcd-svga, part of xpcd which uses svgalib to display graphics on the console, would copy user-supplied data of arbitrary length into a fixed-size buffer in the pcd_open function.

For the current stable distribution (woody) this problem has been fixed in version 2.08-8woody2.

For the unstable distribution (sid), this problem will be fixed soon.

We recommend that you update your xpcd package.
