-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 _______________________________________________________________________ Mandriva Linux Security Advisory MDVSA-2015:017 http://www.mandriva.com/en/support/security/ _______________________________________________________________________ Package : libevent Date : January 8, 2015 Affected: Business Server 1.0 _______________________________________________________________________ Problem Description: Updated libevent packages fix security vulnerability: Andrew Bartlett of Catalyst reported a defect affecting certain applications using the Libevent evbuffer API. This defect leaves applications which pass insanely large inputs to evbuffers open to a possible heap overflow or infinite loop. In order to exploit this flaw, an attacker needs to be able to find a way to provoke the program into trying to make a buffer chunk larger than what will fit into a single size_t or off_t (CVE-2014-6272). _______________________________________________________________________ References: http://cve.mitre.org/cgi-bin/cvename.cgi?name=CVE-2014-6272 http://advisories.mageia.org/MGASA-2015-0009.html _______________________________________________________________________ Updated Packages: Mandriva Business Server 1/X86_64: 88a06ffb6e4f313caa5589c2c726f6f9 mbs1/x86_64/lib64event5-2.0.17-2.1.mbs1.x86_64.rpm 171dd11f991a44d80ac4d4e218d41d9e mbs1/x86_64/lib64event-devel-2.0.17-2.1.mbs1.x86_64.rpm 5d7bcd499ddf00b4d8513caedfe99b25 mbs1/SRPMS/libevent-2.0.17-2.1.mbs1.src.rpm _______________________________________________________________________ To upgrade automatically use MandrivaUpdate or urpmi.
