Test ID:1.3.6.1.4.1.25623.1.0.57024
Category:Mandrake Local Security Checks
Title:Mandrake Security Advisory MDKSA-2006:113 (tetex)
Summary:NOSUMMARY
Description:Description:

The remote host is missing an update to tetex
announced via advisory MDKSA-2006:113.

Integer overflows were reported in the GD Graphics Library (libgd)
2.0.28, and possibly other versions. These overflows allow remote
attackers to cause a denial of service and possibly execute arbitrary
code via PNG image files with large image rows values that lead to a
heap-based buffer overflow in the gdImageCreateFromPngCtx() function.
Tetex contains an embedded copy of the GD library code. (CAN-2004-0941)

The LZW decoding in the gdImageCreateFromGifPtr function in the Thomas
Boutell graphics draw (GD) library (aka libgd) 2.0.33 allows remote attackers
to cause a denial of service (CPU consumption) via malformed GIF data that
causes an infinite loop. Tetex contains an embedded copy of the GD library
code. (CVE-2006-2906)

Updated packages have been patched to address both issues.

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.
