Status SummaryUnknown

Vendor Statement

The xdrmem_getbytes() integer overflow discovered by eEye Digital Security was present in the glibc package on Openwall GNU/*/Linux until 2003/03/23 when it was corrected for Owl-current (with a back-port from the glibc CVS) and documented as a security fix in the system-wide change log available at:

http://www.openwall.com/Owl/CHANGES-current.shtml

Please note that Owl does not include any RPC services (but it does include a few RPC clients).  It has not been fully researched whether an Owl install with no third-party software added is affected by this vulnerability at all.
