Test ID:1.3.6.1.4.1.25623.1.0.61419
Category:Mandrake Local Security Checks
Title:Mandrake Security Advisory MDVSA-2008:176 (mtr)
Summary:NOSUMMARY
Description:Description:

The remote host is missing an update to mtr
announced via advisory MDVSA-2008:176.

A stack-based buffer overflow was found in mtr prior to version 0.73
that allowed remote attackers to execute arbitrary code via a crafted
DNS PTR record, when called with the --split option (CVE-2008-2357).

The updated packages provide mtr 0.73 which corrects this issue.

Affected: Corporate 4.0

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