_____________________________________________________________________________________________

A security hole has been discovered in the xntp3 packages.  Please update
the packages in your installation as soon as possible.
_____________________________________________________________________________________________

1. Problem Summary

   A remote buffer overflow vulnerability exists in the network time
   protocol daemon.  It is remotely exploitable and a user with malicious
   intent can crash the daemon or execute arbitrary code on the affected
   host.

2. Impact

   Remote exploitation can result in an attacker gaining remote root
   access or a denial of ntp service on the affected system.

3. Solution
     
   Update the packages from our ftp server by running the following command:

   rpm -Uvh ftp_path_to_filename

   Where ftp_path_to_filename is the following:

ftp://ftp.turbolinux.com/pub/updates/6.0/security/xntp3-5.93-10.i386.rpm
ftp://ftp.turbolinux.com/pub/updates/6.0/security/xntp3-server-5.93-10.i386.rpm 

   The source RPM can be downloaded here:

   ftp://ftp.turbolinux.com/pub/updates/6.0/SRPMS/xntp3-5.93-10.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 checksums of the updates before you install:

  MD5 sum                               Package Name
- ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
                                       
  1acc3320414d9cf0c95359ee441f670c	xntp3-5.93-10.i386.rpm
  dfb4610caddfe8970e7c9f37c4fc9ec7      xntp3-server-5.93-10.i386.rpm
  b68734be1f493230aa773f19a0bfb0b5      xntp3-5.93-10.src.rpm
