Category:Mandrake Local Security Checks
Title:Mandrake Security Advisory MDKSA-2005:237 (cpio)
Summary:NOSUMMARY
Description:Description:

The remote host is missing an update to cpio
announced via advisory MDKSA-2005:237.

A buffer overflow in cpio 2.6 on 64-bit platforms could allow a local
user to create a DoS (crash) and possibly execute arbitrary code when
creating a cpio archive with a file whose size is represented by more
than 8 digits.

The updated packages have been patched to correct these problems.

Affected: 10.2, 2006.0

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