Category:Mandrake Local Security Checks
Title:Mandrake Security Advisory MDKSA-2004:040 (libpng)
Summary:NOSUMMARY
Description:Description:

The remote host is missing an update to libpng
announced via advisory MDKSA-2004:040.

bounds when creating an error message. The impact of this bug is not
clear, but it could lead to a core dump in a program using libpng, or
could result in a DoS (Denial of Service) condition in a daemon that
uses libpng to process PNG imagaes.

The updated packages are patched to correct the vulnerability.

Affected versions: 10.0, 9.1, 9.2, Corporate Server 2.1,
Multi Network Firewall 8.2


Solution:

of md5 checksums and GPG signatures is performed automatically for you.
