Package        : xpcd
Vulnerability  : buffer overflow
Problem-Type   : local
Debian-specific: no
CVE Ids        : CAN-2004-0402

Jaguar discovered a vulnerability in one component of xpcd, a PhotoCD
viewer.  xpcd-svga, part of xpcd which uses svgalib to display
graphics on the console, would copy user-supplied data of arbitrary
length into a fixed-size buffer in the pcd_open function.

For the current stable distribution (woody) this problem has been
fixed in version 2.08-8woody2.

For the unstable distribution (sid), this problem will be fixed soon.

We recommend that you update your xpcd package.
