Test ID:	1.3.6.1.4.1.25623.1.1.10.2014.0529
Category:	Mageia Linux Local Security Checks
Title:	Mageia: Security Advisory (MGASA-2014-0529)
Summary:	The remote host is missing an update for the 'rpm' package(s) announced via the MGASA-2014-0529 advisory.
Description:	Summary: The remote host is missing an update for the 'rpm' package(s) announced via the MGASA-2014-0529 advisory. Vulnerability Insight: It was found that RPM wrote file contents to the target installation directory under a temporary name, and verified its cryptographic signature only after the temporary file has been written completely. Under certain conditions, the system interprets the unverified temporary file contents and extracts commands from it. This could allow an attacker to modify signed RPM files in such a way that they would execute code chosen by the attacker during package installation (CVE-2013-6435). It was found that RPM could encounter an integer overflow, leading to a stack-based buffer overflow, while parsing a crafted CPIO header in the payload section of an RPM file. This could allow an attacker to modify signed RPM files in such a way that they would execute code chosen by the attacker during package installation (CVE-2014-8118). Affected Software/OS: 'rpm' package(s) on Mageia 4. Solution: Please install the updated package(s). CVSS Score: 10.0 CVSS Vector: AV:N/AC:L/Au:N/C:C/I:C/A:C
