Title:	Mandrake Security Advisory MDKSA-2006:153 (binutils)
Summary:	NOSUMMARY
Description:	Description: The remote host is missing an update to binutils announced via advisory MDKSA-2006:153. A stack-based buffer overflow in messages.c in the GNU as (gas) assembler in Free Software Foundation GNU Binutils before 20050721 allows attackers to execute arbitrary code via a .c file with crafted inline assembly code (CVE-2005-4807). Buffer overflow in getsym in tekhex.c in libbfd in Free Software Foundation GNU Binutils before 20060423, as used by GNU strings, allows context-dependent attackers to cause a denial of service (application crash) and possibly execute arbitrary code via a file with a crafted Tektronix Hex Format (TekHex?) record in which the length character is not a valid hexadecimal character (CVE-2006-2362). The updated packages have been patched to correct these issues. Affected: 2006.0, Corporate 3.0 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-2006:153 Risk factor : High CVSS Score: 7.5
