Title:	Mandrake Security Advisory MDKSA-2003:072 (ypserv)
Summary:	NOSUMMARY
Description:	Description: The remote host is missing an update to ypserv announced via advisory MDKSA-2003:072. A vulnerability was found in versions of ypserv prior to version 2.7. If a malicious client were to query ypserv via TCP and subsequently ignore the server's response, ypserv will block attempting to send the reply. The result is that ypserv will fail to respond to other client requests. ypserv 2.7 and above have been altered to fork a child for each client request, which prevents any one request from causing the server to block. Affected versions: 8.2, 9.0, 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. http://www.securityspace.com/smysecure/catid.html?in=MDKSA-2003:072 http://cve.mitre.org/cgi-bin/cvename.cgi?name=CVE-2003-0251 http://www.linux-nis.org/nis/ypserv/ChangeLog Risk factor : Medium CVSS Score: 5.0
