MandrakeSoft Security Advisory MDKSA-2004:009 : glibc

 

February 4th, 2004

Updated glibc packages fix resolver vulnerabilities

 

A read buffer overflow vulnerability exists in the resolver code in versions of glibc up to and including 2.2.5. The vulnerability is triggered by DNS packets larger than 1024 bytes, which can cause an application to crash.

 

The updated packages have a patch applied to correct the problem.

 

 

The released versions of Mandrake GNU/Linux affected are:

  • 9.0
  • Multi Network Firewall 8.2
  • Corporate Server 2.1
