Test ID:1.3.6.1.4.1.25623.1.1.10.2016.0181
Category:Mageia Linux Local Security Checks
Title:Mageia: Security Advisory (MGASA-2016-0181)
Summary:The remote host is missing an update for the 'libksba' package(s) announced via the MGASA-2016-0181 advisory.
Description:Summary:
The remote host is missing an update for the 'libksba' package(s) announced via the MGASA-2016-0181 advisory.

Vulnerability Insight:
Updated libksba packages fix security vulnerabilities:

An out-of-bounds read access in _ksba_dn_to_str() in libksba 1.3.3, due to an
incomplete fix for CVE-2016-4356, could result in denial of service
(CVE-2016-4574).

In liksba 1.3.3, the returned length of the object from _ksba_ber_parse_tl()
(ti.length) was not always checked against the actual buffer length, thus
leading to a read access after the end of the buffer, which could result in
denial of service (CVE-2016-4579).

Affected Software/OS:
'libksba' package(s) on Mageia 5.

Solution:
Please install the updated package(s).

CVSS Score:
