Description:	Summary: The remote host is missing an update for the 'iperf' package(s) announced via the MGASA-2016-0235 advisory. Vulnerability Insight: A malicious process can connect to an iperf server and, by sending a malformed message on the control channel, corrupt the server process's heap area. This can lead to a crash (and a denial of service), or theoretically a remote code execution as the user running the iperf server. A malicious iperf server could potentially mount a similar attack on an iperf client (CVE-2016-4303). Affected Software/OS: 'iperf' package(s) on Mageia 5. Solution: Please install the updated package(s). CVSS Score: 7.5 CVSS Vector: AV:N/AC:L/Au:N/C:P/I:P/A:P
