Three SCO Security Advisories:

1. SCOSA-2005.55 UnixWare 7.1.3 UnixWare 7.1.4 : Lynx Command Injection
Vulnerability

2. SCOSA-2005.56 UnixWare 7.1.3 UnixWare 7.1.4 : Xloadimage NIFF Image
Title Handling Buffer Overflow Vulnerability

3. SCOSA-2005.57 UnixWare 7.1.3 UnixWare 7.1.4 : LibXpm Integer Overflow
Vulnerability

Detail
======

1. Remote exploitation of a command injection vulnerability could
allow attackers to execute arbitrary commands with the
privileges of the underlying user.

2. A buffer overflow in xloadimage, might allow user-complicit
attackers to execute arbitrary code via a long title name in a
NIFF file, which triggers the overflow during (1) zoom, (2)
reduce, or (3) rotate operations.

3. An integer overflow vulnerability in libXpm can be exploited by
a remote user to cause arbitrary code to be executed

SCO Security Advisory

Subject: UnixWare 7.1.3 UnixWare 7.1.4 : Lynx Command Injection Vulnerability
Advisory number: SCOSA-2005.55
Issue date: 2005 December 14
Cross reference: fz533314
CVE-2005-2929

______________________________________________________________________________


1. Problem Description

Remote exploitation of a command injection vulnerability could
allow attackers to execute arbitrary commands with the
privileges of the underlying user.

The problem specifically exists within the feature to execute
local cgi-bin programs via the "lynxcgi:" URI handler. The
handler is generally intended to be restricted to a specific
directory or program(s). However, due to a configuration error
on multiple platforms, the default settings allow for arbitrary
websites to specify commands to run as the user running Lynx.

The Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures project (cve.mitre.org)
has assigned the name CVE-2005-2929 to this issue.


2. Vulnerable Supported Versions

System Binaries
----------------------------------------------------------------------
UnixWare 7.1.3 /usr/gnu/bin/lynx
UnixWare 7.1.4 /usr/gnu/bin/lynx


3. Solution

The proper solution is to install the latest packages.

SCO Security Advisory

Subject: UnixWare 7.1.3 UnixWare 7.1.4 : LibXpm Integer Overflow Vulnerability
Advisory number: SCOSA-2005.57
Issue date: 2005 December 14
Cross reference: fz533161
CVE-2005-0605

______________________________________________________________________________


1. Problem Description

An integer overflow vulnerability in libXpm can be exploited by
a remote user to cause arbitrary code to be executed.

The 'scan.c' code does not properly validate user-supplied data
contained in image files. A remote user can create a specially
crafted image file that, when processed by the target user or
application, will trigger the overflow and execute arbitrary
code.

The Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures project (cve.mitre.org)
has assigned the name CVE-2005-0605 to this issue.


2. Vulnerable Supported Versions

System Binaries
----------------------------------------------------------------------
UnixWare 7.1.3 /usr/X/lib/libXm.so.1.3
