______________________________________________________________________________

A security hole was discovered in the package mentioned above.
Please update the package in your installation as soon as possible or disable the service.
_____________________________________________________________________________

1. Problem Summary

   The dump utility is setuid and setgid root.  Previous versions of dump
   did not correctly drop the effective gid settings.  When passed an
   oversized argument to the "-f a" parameters, it will overrun the stack.
   If this argument is crafted properly, it may be possible to replace the
   instruction pointer or return address on the stack and execute arbitrary
   code with the permissions of the process (gid of root).


2. Impact

   An attacker could use this overrun to execute code with the gid of root,
   leading to further system compromise.

3. Solution

  Update the package from our ftp server by running the following command:

  rpm -Fv ftp_path_to_filename

  Where ftp_path_to_filename is the following:

  ftp://ftp.turbolinux.com/pub/updates/6.0/security/dump-0.4b16-1.i386.rpm

  The source rpm can be downloaded here:

  ftp://ftp.turbolinux.com/pub/updates/6.0/SRPMS/dump-0.4b16-1.src.rpm

  **Note: You must rebuild and install the rpm if you choose to download
  and install the srpm.  Simply installing the srpm alone WILL NOT CLOSE
  THE SECURITY HOLE.

  Please verify the md5 checksum of the update before you install:

  MD5 sum				Package Name
