Test ID:1.3.6.1.4.1.25623.1.0.72082
Category:Mandrake Local Security Checks
Title:Mandriva Security Advisory MDVSA-2011:190 (libarchive)
Summary:NOSUMMARY
Description:Description:
The remote host is missing an update to libarchive
announced via advisory MDVSA-2011:190.

Two heap-based buffer overflow flaws were discovered in libarchive. If
a user were tricked into expanding a specially-crafted ISO 9660
CD-ROM image or tar archive with an application using libarchive,
it could cause the application to crash or, potentially, execute
arbitrary code with the privileges of the user running the application
(CVE-2011-1777, CVE-2011-1778).

The updated packages have been patched to correct these issues.

Affected: 2010.1, 2011.

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