Category:	Mandrake Local Security Checks
Title:	Mandrake Security Advisory MDKSA-2003:106 (fileutils/coreutils)
Summary:	NOSUMMARY
Description:	Description: The remote host is missing an update to fileutils/coreutils announced via advisory MDKSA-2003:106. A memory starvation denial of service vulnerability in the ls program was discovered by Georgi Guninski. It is possible to allocate a huge amount of memory by specifying certain command-line arguments. It is also possible to exploit this remotely via programs that call ls such as wu-ftpd (although wu-ftpd is no longer shipped with Mandrake Linux). Likewise, a non-exploitable integer overflow problem was discovered in ls, which can be used to crash ls by specifying certain command-line arguments. This can also be triggered via remotely accessible services such as wu-ftpd. The provided packages include a patched ls to fix these problems. Affected versions: 9.0, 9.1, 9.2, 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-2003:106 http://cve.mitre.org/cgi-bin/cvename.cgi?name=CVE-2003-0853 http://cve.mitre.org/cgi-bin/cvename.cgi?name=CVE-2003-0854 Risk factor : Medium CVSS Score: 5.0
