-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 _______________________________________________________________________ Mandriva Linux Security Advisory MDKSA-2006:140 http://www.mandriva.com/security/ _______________________________________________________________________ Package : ncompress Date : August 9, 2006 Affected: 2006.0, Corporate 3.0 _______________________________________________________________________ Problem Description: Tavis Ormandy, of the Google Security Team, discovered that ncompress, when uncompressing data, performed no bounds checking, which could allow a specially crafted datastream to underflow a .bss buffer with attacker controlled data. Updated packages have been patched to correct this issue. _______________________________________________________________________ References: http://cve.mitre.org/cgi-bin/cvename.cgi?name=CVE-2006-1168 _______________________________________________________________________ Updated Packages: Mandriva Linux 2006.0: a1e4fe7d74a1c8e043beb83baec7b34b 2006.0/RPMS/ncompress-4.2.4-28.1.20060mdk.i586.rpm 4b87e1b5ba659ce410067b09a75d669e 2006.0/SRPMS/ncompress-4.2.4-28.1.20060mdk.src.rpm Mandriva Linux 2006.0/X86_64: 7ce7f3a618b9c3687936145e2563733a x86_64/2006.0/RPMS/ncompress-4.2.4-28.1.20060mdk.x86_64.rpm 4b87e1b5ba659ce410067b09a75d669e x86_64/2006.0/SRPMS/ncompress-4.2.4-28.1.20060mdk.src.rpm Corporate 3.0: 30ecc6154bc75783218b82961288b085 corporate/3.0/RPMS/ncompress-4.2.4-28.1.C30mdk.i586.rpm bda272f060534aa25bebf22ed852f647 corporate/3.0/SRPMS/ncompress-4.2.4-28.1.C30mdk.src.rpm Corporate 3.0/X86_64: c9340a5c9bea0316f31fc61f6916f192 x86_64/corporate/3.0/RPMS/ncompress-4.2.4-28.1.C30mdk.x86_64.rpm bda272f060534aa25bebf22ed852f647 x86_64/corporate/3.0/SRPMS/ncompress-4.2.4-28.1.C30mdk.src.rpm _______________________________________________________________________ To upgrade automatically use MandrivaUpdate or urpmi.
