Title:	Mandrake Security Advisory MDKSA-2002:085 (WindowMaker)
Summary:	NOSUMMARY
Description:	Description: The remote host is missing an update to WindowMaker announced via advisory MDKSA-2002:085. Al Viro discovered a vulnerability in the WindowMaker window manager. A function used to load images, for example when configuring a new background image or previewing themes, contains a buffer overflow. The function calculates the amount of memory necessary to load the image by doing some multiplication but does not check the results of this multiplication, which may not fit into the destination variable, resulting in a buffer overflow when the image is loaded. Affected versions: 7.2, 8.0, 8.1, 8.2, 9.0 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-2002:085 http://cve.mitre.org/cgi-bin/cvename.cgi?name=CVE-2002-1277 Risk factor : High CVSS Score: 7.5
