Categoría:	Red Hat Local Security Checks
Título:	RedHat Update for gc RHSA-2013:1500-01
Resumen:	The remote host is missing an update for the 'gc'; package(s) announced via the referenced advisory.
Descripción:	Summary: The remote host is missing an update for the 'gc' package(s) announced via the referenced advisory. Vulnerability Insight: gc is a Boehm-Demers-Weiser conservative garbage collector for C and C++. It was discovered that gc's implementation of the malloc() and calloc() routines did not properly perform parameter sanitization when allocating memory. If an application using gc did not implement application-level validity checks for the malloc() and calloc() routines, a remote attacker could provide specially crafted application-specific input, which, when processed by the application, could lead to an application crash or, potentially, arbitrary code execution with the privileges of the user running the application. (CVE-2012-2673) Users of gc are advised to upgrade to these updated packages, which contain backported patches to correct this issue. Applications using gc must be restarted for the update to take effect. Affected Software/OS: gc on Red Hat Enterprise Linux Desktop (v. 6), Red Hat Enterprise Linux Server (v. 6), Red Hat Enterprise Linux Workstation (v. 6) Solution: Please Install the Updated Packages. CVSS Score: 5.0 CVSS Vector: AV:N/AC:L/Au:N/C:N/I:P/A:N
