Title:	Mandrake Security Advisory MDKSA-2003:029 (snort)
Summary:	NOSUMMARY
Description:	Description: The remote host is missing an update to snort announced via advisory MDKSA-2003:029. A buffer overflow was discovered in the snort RPC normalization routines by ISS-XForce which can cause snort to execute arbitrary code embedded within sniffed network packets. The rpc_decode preprocessor is enabled by default. The snort developers have released version 1.9.1 to correct this behaviour snort versions from 1.8 up to 1.9.0 are vulnerable. For those unable to upgrade, you can disable the rpc_decode preprocessor by commenting out the line (place a # character at the beginning of the line) that enables it in your snort.conf file: preprocessor rpc_decode Affected versions: 8.2, 9.0, 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. http://www.securityspace.com/smysecure/catid.html?in=MDKSA-2003:029 http://cve.mitre.org/cgi-bin/cvename.cgi?name=CVE-2003-0033 http://www.iss.net/issEn/delivery/xforce/alertdetail.jsp?oid=21951 Risk factor : Critical CVSS Score: 10.0
