Test ID:1.3.6.1.4.1.25623.1.0.50545
Category:Mandrake Local Security Checks
Title:Mandrake Security Advisory MDKSA-2004:063 (libpng)
Summary:NOSUMMARY
Description:Description:

The remote host is missing an update to libpng
announced via advisory MDKSA-2004:063.

A buffer overflow vulnerability was discovered in libpng due to a wrong
calculation of some loop offset values. This buffer overflow can lead
to Denial of Service or even remote compromise.

This vulnerability was initially patched in January of 2003, but it
has since been noted that fixes were required in two additional places
that had not been corrected with the earlier patch. This update uses
an updated patch to fix all known issues.

After the upgrade, all applications that use libpng should be
restarted. Many applications are linked to libpng, so if you are
unsure of what applications to restart, you may wish to reboot the
system. Mandrakesoft encourages all users to upgrade immediately.

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


Solution:
To upgrade automatically use MandrakeUpdate or urpmi. The verification
of md5 checksums and GPG signatures is performed automatically for you.
