Category:	Mandrake Local Security Checks
Title:	Mandrake Security Advisory MDKSA-2004:018 (libxml2)
Summary:	NOSUMMARY
Description:	Description: The remote host is missing an update to libxml2 announced via advisory MDKSA-2004:018. A flaw in libxml2 versions prior to 2.6.6 was found by Yuuichi Teranishi. When fetching a remote source via FTP or HTTP, libxml2 uses special parsing routines that can overflow a buffer if passed a very long URL. In the event that the attacker can find a program that uses libxml2 which parses remote resources and allows them to influence the URL, this flaw could be used to execute arbitrary code. The updated packages provide a backported fix to correct the problem. Affected versions: 9.1, 9.2, Corporate Server 2.1 Solution: To upgrade automatically use MandrakeUpdate or urpmi. The verification of md5 checksums and GPG signatures is performed automatically for you. https://secure1.securityspace.com/smysecure/catid.html?in=MDKSA-2004:018 http://cve.mitre.org/cgi-bin/cvename.cgi?name=CVE-2004-0110 Risk factor : High CVSS Score: 7.5
