-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 _______________________________________________________________________ Mandriva Linux Security Advisory MDVSA-2009:231-1 http://www.mandriva.com/security/ _______________________________________________________________________ Package : htmldoc Date : December 7, 2009 Affected: 2008.0 _______________________________________________________________________ Problem Description: A security vulnerability has been identified and fixed in htmldoc: Buffer overflow in the set_page_size function in util.cxx in HTMLDOC 1.8.27 and earlier allows context-dependent attackers to execute arbitrary code via a long MEDIA SIZE comment. NOTE: it was later reported that there were additional vectors in htmllib.cxx and ps-pdf.cxx using an AFM font file with a long glyph name, but these vectors do not cross privilege boundaries (CVE-2009-3050). This update provides a solution to this vulnerability. Update: Packages for 2008.0 are being provided due to extended support for Corporate products. _______________________________________________________________________ References: http://cve.mitre.org/cgi-bin/cvename.cgi?name=CVE-2009-3050 _______________________________________________________________________ Updated Packages: Mandriva Linux 2008.0: c74c08a59ebd8d729e75596cfd2dd3c1 2008.0/i586/htmldoc-1.8.27-1.1mdv2008.0.i586.rpm 97ebe42e77c0a5bf3610d38274a358b7 2008.0/i586/htmldoc-nogui-1.8.27-1.1mdv2008.0.i586.rpm e65766dc51b5bedf47c4ef819c89100d 2008.0/SRPMS/htmldoc-1.8.27-1.1mdv2008.0.src.rpm Mandriva Linux 2008.0/X86_64: 0e263a43524a4a32a66be6e1a9e35aad 2008.0/x86_64/htmldoc-1.8.27-1.1mdv2008.0.x86_64.rpm 58ee4dd5137fa01aac91543f06f7e4ee 2008.0/x86_64/htmldoc-nogui-1.8.27-1.1mdv2008.0.x86_64.rpm e65766dc51b5bedf47c4ef819c89100d 2008.0/SRPMS/htmldoc-1.8.27-1.1mdv2008.0.src.rpm _______________________________________________________________________ To upgrade automatically use MandrivaUpdate or urpmi.
