Test ID:1.3.6.1.4.1.25623.1.0.50805
Category:Mandrake Local Security Checks
Title:Mandrake Security Advisory MDKSA-2002:029 (imlib)
Summary:NOSUMMARY
Description:Description:

The remote host is missing an update to imlib
announced via advisory MDKSA-2002:029.

Previous versions of imlib, prior to 1.9.13, would fall back to the
NetPBM library which is not suitable for loading untrusted images due
to various problem in it's code. The new imlib also fixes some
problems with arguments passed to malloc(). These problems could allow
attackers to construct images that could cause crashes or, potentially,
the execution of arbitrary code when said images are loaded by a viewer
that uses imlib.

Thanks to Alan Cox and Al Viro for discovering the problems.

Affected versions: 7.1, 7.2, 8.0, 8.1, 8.2, Corporate Server 1.0.1

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