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.
