Test ID:1.3.6.1.4.1.25623.1.1.10.2017.0094
Category:Mageia Linux Local Security Checks
Title:Mageia: Security Advisory (MGASA-2017-0094)
Summary:The remote host is missing an update for the 'mbedtls' package(s) announced via the MGASA-2017-0094 advisory.
Description:Summary:
The remote host is missing an update for the 'mbedtls' package(s) announced via the MGASA-2017-0094 advisory.

Vulnerability Insight:
In mbedTLS before 1.3.19, if a malicious peer supplies a certificate with
a specially crafted secp224k1 public key, then an attacker can cause the
server or client to attempt to free block of memory held on stack.
Depending on the platform, this could result in a Denial of Service
(client crash) or potentially could be exploited to allow remote code
execution with the same privileges as the host application
(CVE-2017-2784).

The mbedtls package has been updated to version 1.3.19, fixing this issue
as well as other security issues and bugs.

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

Solution:
Please install the updated package(s).

CVSS Score:
6.8
