Test ID:1.3.6.1.4.1.25623.1.0.50602
Category:Mandrake Local Security Checks
Title:Mandrake Security Advisory MDKSA-2004:120 (mpg123)
Summary:NOSUMMARY
Description:Description:

The remote host is missing an update to mpg123
announced via advisory MDKSA-2004:120.

Carlos Barros discovered two buffer overflow vulnerabilities in mpg123

the first in the getauthfromURL() function and the second in the
http_open() function. These vulnerabilities could be exploited to
possibly execute arbitrary code with the privileges of the user running
mpg123.

The provided packages are patched to fix these issues, as well
additional boundary checks that were lacking have been included (thanks
to the Gentoo Linux Sound Team for these additional fixes).

Affected versions: 10.0, 10.1, Corporate Server 2.1

Solution:
To upgrade automatically use MandrakeUpdate or urpmi. The verification
of md5 checksums and GPG signatures is performed automatically for you.
