Re: eSecurityOnline Security Advisory 3761 - Sun Solaris lbxproxy dis play name buffer overflow vulnerability

["Charles M. Richmond" <cmr () iisc com>]

It looks like this buffer overflow is also in the Sparc versions.
Solaris 8 - Patch-ID# 108652-51
Solaris 8x86 - Patch-ID# 108653-41

There are also Solaris 7 patches available.
107654-09 (x86 107655-09) which in '-08' addressed a buffer
overflow issue that affected suid/sgid X programs.
