Description:	Summary: The remote host is missing an update for the 'boinc-client' package(s) announced via the MGASA-2014-0460 advisory. Vulnerability Insight: Multiple stack overflow flaws were found in the way the XML parser of boinc-client, a Berkeley Open Infrastructure for Network Computing (BOINC) client for distributed computing, performed processing of certain XML files. A rogue BOINC server could provide a specially-crafted XML file that, when processed would lead to boinc-client executable crash (CVE-2013-2298). Issues preventing the boinc-client service from working immediately after installation have been fixed as well. Affected Software/OS: 'boinc-client' package(s) on Mageia 3, Mageia 4. Solution: Please install the updated package(s). CVSS Score: 9.3 CVSS Vector: AV:N/AC:M/Au:N/C:C/I:C/A:C
