Title:Mandriva Update for libtasn1 MDVSA-2012:039 (libtasn1)
Summary:The remote host is missing an update for the 'libtasn1'; package(s) announced via the referenced advisory.
Description:Summary:
The remote host is missing an update for the 'libtasn1'
package(s) announced via the referenced advisory.

Vulnerability Insight:
A vulnerability has been found and corrected in libtasn1:

The asn1_get_length_der function in decoding.c in GNU Libtasn1 before
2.12, as used in GnuTLS before 3.0.16 and other products, does not
properly handle certain large length values, which allows remote
attackers to cause a denial of service (heap memory corruption and
application crash) or possibly have unspecified other impact via a
crafted ASN.1 structure (CVE-2012-1569).

The updated packages have been patched to correct this issue.

Affected Software/OS:
libtasn1 on Mandriva Linux 2011.0,
Mandriva Enterprise Server 5.2,
Mandriva Linux 2010.1

Solution:
Please Install the Updated Packages.

CVSS Score:
