Category:Mageia Linux Local Security Checks
Title:Mageia: Security Advisory (MGASA-2016-0101)
Summary:The remote host is missing an update for the 'exempi, exiv2' package(s) announced via the MGASA-2016-0101 advisory.
Description:Summary:
The remote host is missing an update for the 'exempi, exiv2' package(s) announced via the MGASA-2016-0101 advisory.

Vulnerability Insight:
exempi contains code to protect against a denial-service-attack
related to XML entity expansion ('billion laughs attack'), but it was
not compiled into the Mageia package because BanAllEntityUsage was not
defined when the package was compiled.

This has been corrected by recompiling it with the BanAllEntityUsage
macro defined. The exiv2 package contains a bundled copy of the same
code and has also been recompiled with the macro defined.

Affected Software/OS:
'exempi, exiv2' package(s) on Mageia 5.

Solution:
Please install the updated package(s).

CVSS Score:
5.0
