Test ID:1.3.6.1.4.1.25623.1.0.51741
Category:Fedora Local Security Checks
Title:Fedora Legacy Security Advisory FLSA-2005:2043
Summary:NOSUMMARY
Description:Description:

The remote host is missing updates announced in
advisory FLSA-2005:2043.

Johan Thelmen reported that a specially crafted file can cause a
segmentation fault in zlib as the inflate() and inflateBack() functions
do not properly handle errors. An attacker could construct a carefully
crafted file that could cause a crash or possibly execute arbitrary code
when opened. The specific impact depends on the application using zlib.
The Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures project (cve.mitre.org) has
assigned the name CVE-2004-0797 to this issue.

Users of zlib are advised to upgrade to this errata package, which
contains a backported patch correcting this issue.

Affected platforms:
Fedora Core 1

Solution:

Risk factor : Medium

CVSS Score:
2.1
