TITLE:
GNU Cpio "rmt" Buffer Overflow Vulnerability

SECUNIA ADVISORY ID:
SA38869

VERIFY ADVISORY:
http://secunia.com/advisories/38869/

DESCRIPTION:
A vulnerability has been reported in GNU Cpio, which can potentially
be exploited by malicious people to compromise a vulnerable system.

The vulnerability is caused due to a boundary error within the client
implementation for the "rmt" (remote magtape) protocol, which can be
exploited to cause a buffer overflow.

Successful exploitation may allow execution of arbitrary code, but
requires that a user is tricked into connecting to a malicious "rmt"
server.

SOLUTION:
Update to version 2.11.
