                Mandrake Linux Security Update Advisory
________________________________________________________________________

Package name:           mod_frontpage
Advisory ID:            MDKSA-2002:021
Date:                   March 7th, 2002
Affected versions:      8.0, 8.1
________________________________________________________________________

Problem Description:

 A problem was found in versions of improved mod_frontpage prior to
 1.6.1 regarding a lack of boundary checks in fpexec.c.  This means that
 the suid root binary is exploitable for buffer overflows.  This could
 be exploited by remote attackers to execute arbitrary code on the
 server with superuser privileges.  Although there are no known exploits
 available, if you use mod_frontpage you are strongly encouraged to
 upgrade.

 This update for Mandrake Linux has been completely reworked and is
 easier to configure and use, as well as supporting the new FrontPage
 2002 extensions.
