Category:Mandrake Local Security Checks
Title:Mandrake Security Advisory MDVSA-2008:103 (libid3tag)
Summary:NOSUMMARY
Description:Description:

The remote host is missing an update to libid3tag
announced via advisory MDVSA-2008:103.

field.c in the libid3tag 0.15.0b library allows context-dependent
attackers to cause a denial of service (CPU and memory consumption)
via an ID3_FIELD_TYPE_STRINGLIST field that ends in '\0', which
triggers an infinite loop.

The updated packages have been patched to correct this.

Affected: 2008.0, 2008.1, Corporate 3.0

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