[DSA062] DSA-062-1 rxvt

Vulnerability Assessment Summary DSA-062-1 rxvt Detailed Explanation for this Vulnerability Assessment Samuel Dralet reported on bugtraq that version 2.6.2 of rxvt (a VT102 terminal emulator for X) have a buffer overflow in the tt_printf() function. A local user could abuse this making rxvt print a special string using that function, for example by using the -T or -name command-line options. That string would cause a stack overflow and contain code which rxvt will execute. Since rxvt is installed sgid utmp a possible hacker could use this to gain utmp which would permit them to modify the utmp file. This has been fixed in version 2.6.2-2.1, and we recommend that you upgrade your rxvt package.
