Category:Mageia Linux Local Security Checks
Title:Mageia: Security Advisory (MGASA-2014-0262)
Summary:The remote host is missing an update for the 'musl' package(s) announced via the MGASA-2014-0262 advisory.
Description:Summary:
The remote host is missing an update for the 'musl' package(s) announced via the MGASA-2014-0262 advisory.

Vulnerability Insight:
Updated musl package fixes security vulnerability:

A remote stack-based buffer overflow has been found in musl libc's dns
response parsing code. The overflow can be triggered in programs linked
against musl libc and making dns queries via one of the standard interfaces
(getaddrinfo, getnameinfo, gethostbyname, gethostbyaddr, etc.) if one of the
configured nameservers in resolv.conf is controlled by an attacker, or if an
attacker can inject forged udp packets with control over their contents.
Denial of service is also possible via a related failure in loop detection
(CVE-2014-3484).

Affected Software/OS:
'musl' package(s) on Mageia 4.

Solution:
Please install the updated package(s).

CVSS Score:
7.5
