Test ID:1.3.6.1.4.1.25623.1.1.10.2016.0286
Category:Mageia Linux Local Security Checks
Title:Mageia: Security Advisory (MGASA-2016-0286)
Summary:The remote host is missing an update for the 'mupdf' package(s) announced via the MGASA-2016-0286 advisory.
Description:Summary:
The remote host is missing an update for the 'mupdf' package(s) announced via the MGASA-2016-0286 advisory.

Vulnerability Insight:
A flaw was discovered in the pdf_load_mesh_params() function allowing
out-of-bounds write access to memory locations. With carefully crafted
input, that could trigger a heap overflow, resulting in application
crash or possibly having other unspecified impact (CVE-2016-6525).

Also, mupdf already contained the X11 viewer /usr/bin/mupdf-x11 but no
mupdf binary to match the man page instructions. A symlink to mupdf-x11
now provides this (mga#19105).

Affected Software/OS:
'mupdf' 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
