Summary:NOSUMMARY
Description:Description:

The remote host is missing an update to gkrellm

A buffer overflow was discovered in gkrellmd, the server component of
the gkrellm monitor package, in versions of gkrellm 2.1.x prior to
2.1.14. This buffer overflow occurs while reading data from connected
gkrellm clients and can lead to possible arbitrary code execution as
the user running the gkrellmd server.

Updated packages are available for Mandrake Linux 9.1 which correct the
problem.

Affected versions: 9.1

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