Test ID:1.3.6.1.4.1.25623.1.0.50779
Category:Mandrake Local Security Checks
Title:Mandrake Security Advisory MDKSA-2001:095-1 (glibc)
Summary:NOSUMMARY
Description:Description:

The remote host is missing an update to glibc
announced via advisory MDKSA-2001:095-1.

Flavio Veloso found an overflowable buffer problem in earlier versions
of the glibc glob(3) implementation. It may be possible to exploit
some programs that pass input to the glibc glob() function in a manner
that can be modified by the user.

Update:

The glibc update for 8.0/PPC resulted in ldconfig segfaulting
consistently. This update fixes the problems with ldconfig on PPC.

Affected versions: 7.1, 7.2, 8.0, 8.1, Corporate Server 1.0.1,
Single Network Firewall 7.2


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