Xlockmore 4.16 Buffer Overflow Vulnerability

Solution:
This vulnerability has been fixed in (at least) the NetBSD package sources.

To remove the package:

pkg_delete -v xlockmore

To build / install the new version:

cd pkgsrc/x11/xlockmore; make clean; make install

NetBSD binaries are available at:

ftp://ftp.netbsd.org/pub/NetBSD/packages/pkgsrc/x11/xlockmore/README.html

Mandrake Linux:

To upgrade automatically, use ? MandrakeUpdate ?. If you want to upgrade manually, download the updated package from one of the FTP server mirrors and uprade with "rpm -Uvh package_name". All mirrors are listed on http://www.mandrake.com/en/ftp.php3 Updated packages are available in the "updates/" directory.

For example, if you are looking for an updated RPM package for Mandrake 7.0, look for it in: updates/7.0/RPMS/
