Category:	Mageia Linux Local Security Checks
Title:	Mageia: Security Advisory (MGASA-2014-0175)
Summary:	The remote host is missing an update for the 'json-c' package(s) announced via the MGASA-2014-0175 advisory.
Description:	Summary: The remote host is missing an update for the 'json-c' package(s) announced via the MGASA-2014-0175 advisory. Vulnerability Insight: Updated json-c packages fix security vulnerabilities: Florian Weimer reported that the printbuf APIs used in the json-c library used ints for counting buffer lengths, which is inappropriate for 32bit architectures. These functions need to be changed to using size_t if possible for sizes, or to be hardened against negative values if not. This could be used to cause a denial of service in an application linked to the json-c library (CVE-2013-6370). Florian Weimer reported that the hash function in the json-c library was weak, and that parsing smallish JSON strings showed quadratic timing behaviour. This could cause an application linked to the json-c library, and that processes some specially-crafted JSON data, to use excessive amounts of CPU (CVE-2013-6371). Affected Software/OS: 'json-c' package(s) on Mageia 3, Mageia 4. Solution: Please install the updated package(s). CVSS Score: 5.0 CVSS Vector: AV:N/AC:L/Au:N/C:N/I:N/A:P
