Title:	Mageia: Security Advisory (MGASA-2024-0139)
Summary:	The remote host is missing an update for the 'less' package(s) announced via the MGASA-2024-0139 advisory.
Description:	Summary: The remote host is missing an update for the 'less' package(s) announced via the MGASA-2024-0139 advisory. Vulnerability Insight: less through 653 allows OS command execution via a newline character in the name of a file, because quoting is mishandled in filename.c. Exploitation typically requires use with attacker-controlled file names, such as the files extracted from an untrusted archive. Exploitation also requires the LESSOPEN environment variable, but this is set by default in many common cases. (CVE-2024-32487) Affected Software/OS: 'less' package(s) on Mageia 9. Solution: Please install the updated package(s). CVSS Score: 5.0 CVSS Vector: AV:N/AC:L/Au:N/C:P/I:N/A:N
