+Package: aspell
+Vulnerability: arbitrary code execution
+OpenPKG Specific: no
+
+Affected Releases: Affected Packages: Corrected Packages:
+OpenPKG CURRENT <= aspell-0.50.5-20040310 >= aspell-0.60-20040827
+OpenPKG 2.1 <= aspell-0.50.5-2.1.0 >= aspell-0.50.5-2.1.1
+OpenPKG 2.0 <= aspell-0.50.5-2.0.0 >= aspell-0.50.5-2.0.1
+
+Dependent Packages: none
+
+Description:
+ According to a security advisory from shaun2k2 [0], multiple
+ stack-based buffer overflows exists in the "word-list-compress"
+ utility from the spell-checker GNU Aspell [1]. By providing a
+ specially crafted word list containing an overly long string (more
+ than 256 bytes), an attacker can cause a buffer overflow and execute
+ arbitrary code. This allows an attacker to execute arbitrary code via
+ a long entry in the wordlist. The Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures
+ (CVE) project assigned the id CAN-2004-0548 [2] to the problem.
+
+ Please check whether you are affected by running "<prefix>/bin/openpkg
+ rpm -q aspell". If you have the "aspell" package installed and its
+ version is affected (see above), we recommend that you immediately
+ upgrade it (see Solution) and its dependent packages (see above), if
+ any, too [3][4].
+
+Solution:
+ Select the updated source RPM appropriate for your OpenPKG release
+ [5][6], fetch it from the OpenPKG FTP service [7][8] or a mirror
+ location, verify its integrity [9], build a corresponding binary RPM
+ from it [3] and update your OpenPKG installation by applying the
+ binary RPM [4]. For the most recent release OpenPKG 2.1, perform the
+ following operations to permanently fix the security problem (for
+ other releases adjust accordingly).
+
+ $ ftp ftp.openpkg.org
+ ftp> bin
+ ftp> cd release/2.1/UPD
+ ftp> get aspell-0.50.5-2.1.1.src.rpm
+ ftp> bye
+ $ <prefix>/bin/openpkg rpm -v --checksig aspell-0.50.5-2.1.1.src.rpm
+ $ <prefix>/bin/openpkg rpm --rebuild aspell-0.50.5-2.1.1.src.rpm
+ $ su -
+ # <prefix>/bin/openpkg rpm -Fvh <prefix>/RPM/PKG/aspell-0.50.5-2.1.1.*.rpm
