Test ID:	1.3.6.1.4.1.25623.1.0.72011
Category:	Mandrake Local Security Checks
Title:	Mandriva Security Advisory MDVSA-2012:023 (libxml2)
Summary:	NOSUMMARY
Description:	Description: The remote host is missing an update to libxml2 announced via advisory MDVSA-2012:023. A vulnerability has been found and corrected in libxml2: It was found that the hashing routine used by libxml2 arrays was susceptible to predictable hash collisions. Sending a specially-crafted message to an XML service could result in longer processing time, which could lead to a denial of service. To mitigate this issue, randomization has been added to the hashing function to reduce the chance of an attacker successfully causing intentional collisions (CVE-2012-0841). The updated packages have been patched to correct this issue. Affected: 2010.1, 2011., Enterprise Server 5.0 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=MDVSA-2012:023 Risk factor : High
