Debian DSA-508-1 : xpcd - buffer overflow

medium Nessus Plugin ID 15345

Synopsis

The remote Debian host is missing a security-related update.

Description

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.

Solution

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

We recommend that you update your xpcd package.
