Title:	Mandrake Security Advisory MDKSA-2002:026 (libsafe)
Summary:	NOSUMMARY
Description:	Description: The remote host is missing an update to libsafe announced via advisory MDKSA-2002:026. Wojciech Purczynski discovered that format string protection in libsafe can be easily bypassed by using flag characters that are implemented in glibc but are not implemented in libsafe. It was also discovered that *printf function wrappers incorrectly parse argument indexing in format strings, making some incorrect assumptions on the number of arguments and conversion specifications. These problems were fixed by the libsafe authors in 2.0-12. Affected versions: 7.1, 7.2, 8.0, 8.1, Corporate Server 1.0.1, Single Network Firewall 7.2 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-2002:026 http://online.securityfocus.com/bid/4326 http://online.securityfocus.com/bid/4327 Risk factor : High
