Linux-Mandrake Security Update Advisory
________________________________________________________________________
Package name: ncurses
Date: May 25th, 2001
Advisory ID: MDKSA-2001:052
Affected versions: 7.1, 7.2, Corporate Server 1.0.1
________________________________________________________________________
Problem Description:
An overflowable buffer in the part of the ncurses library that
handles cursor movement existed in versions of ncurses prior to 5.2.
Attackers could force a privileged application to use their own
termcap file containing a special terminal entry which would trigger
the overflow, allowing them to execute arbitrary code with the
privileges of the exploited binary. This vulnerability would only
manifest in setuid
applications that use ncurses for cursor movement.

Please verify the update prior to upgrading to ensure the integrity of
the downloaded package. You can do this with the command:
rpm --checksig package.rpm
You can get the GPG public key of the Linux-Mandrake Security Team at
http://www.linux-mandrake.com/en/security/RPM-GPG-KEYS
If you use MandrakeUpdate, the verification of md5 checksum and GPG
signature is performed automatically for you.

To upgrade automatically, use MandrakeUpdate.
If you want to upgrade manually, download the updated package from one
of our FTP server mirrors and upgrade with "rpm -Fvh *.rpm".
You can download the updates directly from one of the mirror sites
listed at:
http://www.linux-mandrake.com/en/ftp.php3.
Updated packages are available in the "updates/[ver]/RPMS/"
directory. For example, if you are looking for an updated RPM
package for Linux-Mandrake 8.0, look for it in "updates/8.0/RPMS/".
Updated source RPMs are available as well, but you generally do not
need to download them.
Please be aware that sometimes it takes the mirrors a few hours to
update.
