Category:	Mandrake Local Security Checks
Title:	Mandrake Security Advisory MDKSA-2006:056 (xorg-x11)
Summary:	NOSUMMARY
Description:	Description: The remote host is missing an update to xorg-x11 announced via advisory MDKSA-2006:056. Versions of Xorg 6.9.0 and greater have a bug in xf86Init.c, which allows non-root users to use the -modulepath, -logfile and -configure options. This allows loading of arbitrary modules which will execute as the root user, as well as a local DoS by overwriting system files. 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. http://www.securityspace.com/smysecure/catid.html?in=MDKSA-2006:056 Risk factor : High CVSS Score: 7.2
