Title:	Mandrake Security Advisory MDKSA-2006:140 (ncompress)
Summary:	NOSUMMARY
Description:	Description: The remote host is missing an update to ncompress announced via advisory MDKSA-2006:140. Tavis Ormandy, of the Google Security Team, discovered that ncompress, when uncompressing data, performed no bounds checking, which could allow a specially crafted datastream to underflow a .bss buffer with attacker controlled data. Updated packages have been patched to correct this issue. Affected: 2006.0, Corporate 3.0 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-2006:140 Risk factor : High CVSS Score: 7.5
