Test ID:1.3.6.1.4.1.25623.1.0.72058
Category:Mandrake Local Security Checks
Title:Mandriva Security Advisory MDVSA-2011:153 (libxfont)
Summary:NOSUMMARY
Description:Description:
The remote host is missing an update to libxfont
announced via advisory MDVSA-2011:153.

A vulnerability has been discovered and corrected in libxfont:

The LZW decompressor in (1) the BufCompressedFill function in
fontfile/decompress.c in X.Org libXfont before 1.4.4 and (2)
compress/compress.c in 4.3BSD, as used in zopen.c in OpenBSD before
3.8, FreeBSD, NetBSD, FreeType 2.1.9, and other products, does not
properly handle code words that are absent from the decompression
table when encountered, which allows context-dependent attackers
to trigger an infinite loop or a heap-based buffer overflow, and
possibly execute arbitrary code, via a crafted compressed stream,
a related issue to CVE-2006-1168 and CVE-2011-2896 (CVE-2011-2895).

The updated packages have been patched to correct this issue.

Affected: 2010.1, 2011., Enterprise Server 5.0

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