Category:Mandrake Local Security Checks
Title:Mandrake Security Advisory MDKSA-2007:210 (xfs)
Summary:NOSUMMARY
Description:Description:

The remote host is missing an update to xfs
announced via advisory MDKSA-2007:210.

Integer overflow in the build_range function in X.Org X Font Server
(xfs) before 1.0.5 allows context-dependent attackers to execute
arbitrary code via (1) QueryXBitmaps and (2) QueryXExtents protocol
requests with crafted size values, which triggers a heap-based buffer
overflow. (CVE-2007-4568)

The swap_char2b function in X.Org X Font Server (xfs) before 1.0.5
allows context-dependent attackers to execute arbitrary code via (1)
QueryXBitmaps and (2) QueryXExtents protocol requests with crafted
size values that specify an arbitrary number of bytes to be swapped
on the heap, which triggers heap corruption. (CVE-2007-4990)

Updated package fixes these issues.

Affected: 2007.0, 2007.1, Corporate 3.0, Corporate 4.0

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