Test ID:1.3.6.1.4.1.25623.1.0.50657
Category:Mandrake Local Security Checks
Title:Mandrake Security Advisory MDKSA-2004:017 (pwlib)
Summary:NOSUMMARY
Description:Description:

The remote host is missing an update to pwlib
announced via advisory MDKSA-2004:017.

The NISCC uncovered bugs in pwlib prior to version 1.6.0 via a test
suite for the H.225 protocol. An attacker could trigger these bugs
by sending carefully crafted messages to an application that uses
pwlib, and the severity would vary based on the application, but
likely would result in a Denial of Service (DoS).

The updated packages provide backported fixes from Craig Southeren
of the OpenH323 project to protect against this issue.

Affected versions: 9.1, 9.2

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