Test ID:1.3.6.1.4.1.25623.1.0.50743
Category:Mandrake Local Security Checks
Title:Mandrake Security Advisory MDKSA-2003:089 (XFree86)
Summary:NOSUMMARY
Description:Description:

The remote host is missing an update to XFree86
announced via advisory MDKSA-2003:089.

Several vulnerabilities were discovered by blexim(at)hush.com in the
font libraries of XFree86 version 4.3.0 and earlier. These bugs could
potentially lead to execution of arbitrary code or a DoS by a remote
user in any way that calls these functions, which are related to the
transfer and enumeration of fonts from font servers to clients.

As well, some bugs were fixed in XFree86 as released with Mandrake
Linux 9.2, specifically a problem where X would freeze with a black
screen at logout or shutdown with DRI enabled on certain ATI Radeon
cards.

Affected versions: 9.0, 9.1, 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.
