Test ID:1.3.6.1.4.1.25623.1.1.10.2015.0042
Category:Mageia Linux Local Security Checks
Title:Mageia: Security Advisory (MGASA-2015-0042)
Summary:The remote host is missing an update for the 'privoxy' package(s) announced via the MGASA-2015-0042 advisory.
Description:Summary:
The remote host is missing an update for the 'privoxy' package(s) announced via the MGASA-2015-0042 advisory.

Vulnerability Insight:
Updated privoxy packages fix security issues:

Fixed a DoS issue in case of client requests with incorrect chunk-encoded
body. When compiled with assertions enabled (the default) they could
previously cause Privoxy to abort().

Fixed multiple segmentation faults and memory leaks in the pcrs code. This
fix also increases the chances that an invalid pcrs command is rejected as
such. Previously some invalid commands would be loaded without error. Note
that Privoxy's pcrs sources (action and filter files) are considered
trustworthy input and should not be writable by untrusted third-parties.

Fixed an 'invalid read' bug which could at least theoretically cause
Privoxy to crash.

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

Solution:
Please install the updated package(s).

CVSS Score:
5.0
