Test ID: | 1.3.6.1.4.1.25623.1.0.57630 |
Category: | Mandrake Local Security Checks |
Title: | Mandrake Security Advisory MDKSA-2006:199 (libx11) |
Summary: | NOSUMMARY |
Description: | Description: The remote host is missing an update to libx11 announced via advisory MDKSA-2006:199. The Xinput module (modules/im/ximcp/imLcIm.c) in X.Org libX11 1.0.2 and 1.0.3 opens a file for reading twice using the same file descriptor, which causes a file descriptor leak that allows local users to read files specified by the XCOMPOSEFILE environment variable via the duplicate file descriptor. Updated packages have been patched to correct this issue. Affected: 2007.0 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-2006:199 Risk factor : Medium CVSS Score: 2.1 |
