Category:Mandrake Local Security Checks
Title:Mandrake Security Advisory MDKSA-2001:073-1 (xli/xloadimage)
Summary:NOSUMMARY
Description:Description:

The remote host is missing an update to xli/xloadimage
announced via advisory MDKSA-2001:073-1.

A buffer overflow exists in xli due to missing boundary checks. This
could be triggered by an external attacker to execute commands on the
victim's machine. An exploit is publically available. xli is an image
viewer that is used by Netscape's plugger to display TIFF, PNG, and
Sun-Raster images.

Update:

The xloadimage package uses the same code as xli and is likewise
vulnerable. An update is provided for xloadimage which was only
provided with Linux-Mandrake 7.2.

Affected versions: 7.1, 7.2, 8.0, Corporate Server 1.0.1

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