Test ID:1.3.6.1.4.1.25623.1.0.56494
Category:Mandrake Local Security Checks
Title:Mandrake Security Advisory MDKSA-2006:057 (cairo)
Summary:NOSUMMARY
Description:Description:

The remote host is missing an update to cairo
announced via advisory MDKSA-2006:057.

GNOME Evolution allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service
(persistent client crash) via an attached text file that contains
Content-Disposition: inline in the header, and a very long line in
the body, which causes the client to repeatedly crash until the e-mail
message is manually removed, possibly due to a buffer overflow, as
demonstrated using an XML attachment.

The underlying issue is in libcairo, which is used by recent versions
of Evolution for message rendering.

The Corporate Desktop 3.0 version of Evolution does not use libcairo
and is not vulnerable to this issue.

Updated packages have been patched to correct these issues.

Affected: 2006.0

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