Test ID:1.3.6.1.4.1.25623.1.0.50781
Category:Mandrake Local Security Checks
Title:Mandrake Security Advisory MDKSA-2002:004 (stunnel)
Summary:NOSUMMARY
Description:Description:

The remote host is missing an update to stunnel
announced via advisory MDKSA-2002:004.

All versions of stunnel from 3.15 to 3.21c are vulnerable to format
string bugs in the functions which implement smtp, pop, and nntp client
negotiations. Using stunnel with the -n service option and the -c
client mode option, a malicious server could use the format sting
vulnerability to run arbitrary code as the owner of the current stunnel
process. Version 3.22 is not vulnerable to this bug.

Affected versions: 8.1

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