Test ID: | 1.3.6.1.4.1.25623.1.0.50884 |
Category: | Mandrake Local Security Checks |
Title: | Mandrake Security Advisory MDKSA-2001:074 (WindowMaker) |
Summary: | NOSUMMARY |
Description: | Description: The remote host is missing an update to WindowMaker announced via advisory MDKSA-2001:074. A buffer overflow exists in the WindowMaker window manager's window title handling code, as discovered by Alban Hertroys. Many programs, such as web browsers, set the window title to something obtained from the network, such as the title of the currently-viewed web page. As such, this buffer overflow could be exploited remotely. WindowMaker versions above and including 0.65.1 are fixed upstream these packages have been patched to correct the problem. Affected versions: 7.1, 7.2, 8.0, 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. http://www.securityspace.com/smysecure/catid.html?in=MDKSA-2001:074 http://www.windowmaker.org/src/ChangeLog http://www.linux-mandrake.com/en/security/RPM-GPG-KEYS Risk factor : High |
