Title:	SuSE Security Advisory SUSE-SA:2002:030 (i4l)
Summary:	NOSUMMARY
Description:	Description: The remote host is missing updates announced in advisory SUSE-SA:2002:030. The i4l package contains several programs for ISDN maintenance and connectivity on Linux. The ipppd program which is part of the package contained various buffer overflows and format string bugs. Since ipppd is installed setuid to root and executable by users of group 'dialout' this may allow attackers with appropriate group membership to execute arbitrary commands as root. The i4l package is installed by default and also vulnerable if you do not have a ISDN setup. The buffer overflows and format string bugs have been fixed. We strongly recommend an update of the i4l package. Solution: If you do not consider updating the package it is also possible to remove the setuid bit from /usr/sbin/ipppd as a temporary workaround. The SuSE Security Team is aware of a published exploit for ipppd that gives a local attacker root privileges so you should either update the package or remove the setuid bit from ipppd. Update your system with the packages as indicated in the referenced security advisory. http://www.securityspace.com/smysecure/catid.html?in=SUSE-SA:2002:030 Risk factor : High
