Re: [suse-security] Affected by CA-2002-25?

Hi All,

Does anyone know if glibc-2.2.2-63 is affected by http://www.cert.org/advisories/CA-2002-25.html

Theoretically yes. But to our current knowlege the XDR functionality is not used in the glibc itself and the utilities linked to it. We are still investigating. Of course, we'll publish update packages if SuSE products are vulnerable. This would take some days of time for building the packages and testing. glibc updates are serious and need special attention. Thanks, Roman. -- - - | Roman Drahtmüller // "You don't need eyes to see, | SuSE Linux AG - Security Phone: // you need vision!" | Nürnberg, Germany +49-911-740530 // Maxi Jazz, Faithless | - -
