Test ID:1.3.6.1.4.1.25623.1.0.50578
Category:Mandrake Local Security Checks
Title:Mandrake Security Advisory MDKSA-2004:098 (libxpm4)
Summary:NOSUMMARY
Description:Description:

The remote host is missing an update to libxpm4
announced via advisory MDKSA-2004:098.

Chris Evans found several stack and integer overflows in the libXpm code
of X.Org/XFree86 (from which the libxpm code is derived):

Stack overflows (CVE-2004-0687):

Careless use of strcat() in both the XPMv1 and XPMv2/3 xpmParseColors code
leads to a stack based overflow (parse.c).

Stack overflow reading pixel values in ParseAndPutPixels (create.c) as
well as ParsePixels (parse.c).

Integer Overflows (CVE-2004-0688):

Integer overflow allocating colorTable in xpmParseColors (parse.c) -
probably a crashable but not exploitable offence.

The updated packages have patches from Chris Evans and Matthieu Herrb
to address these vulnerabilities.

Affected versions: 10.0, 9.2, Corporate Server 2.1

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