Category:	Mageia Linux Local Security Checks
Title:	Mageia: Security Advisory (MGASA-2015-0157)
Summary:	The remote host is missing an update for the 'python-dulwich' package(s) announced via the MGASA-2015-0157 advisory.
Description:	Summary: The remote host is missing an update for the 'python-dulwich' package(s) announced via the MGASA-2015-0157 advisory. Vulnerability Insight: Updated python-dulwich package fixes security vulnerabilities: It was discovered that Dulwich allows writing to files under .git/ when checking out working trees. This could lead to the execution of arbitrary code with the privileges of the user running an application based on Dulwich (CVE-2014-9706). Ivan Fratric of the Google Security Team has found a buffer overflow in the C implementation of the apply_delta() function, used when accessing Git objects in pack files. An attacker could take advantage of this flaw to cause the execution of arbitrary code with the privileges of the user running a Git server or client based on Dulwich (CVE-2015-0838). The python-dulwich package has been updated to version 0.10.0, fixing these issues and other bugs. Affected Software/OS: 'python-dulwich' package(s) on Mageia 4. Solution: Please install the updated package(s). CVSS Score: 7.5 CVSS Vector: AV:N/AC:L/Au:N/C:P/I:P/A:P
