November 9th, 2005

 

Sam Varshavchik discovered theHTBoundary_put_block function in HTBound.c for W3C libwww (w3c-libwww) allows remote servers to cause a denial of service (segmentation fault) via a crafted multipart/byteranges MIME message that triggers an out-of-bounds read.

The released versions of Mandriva GNU/Linux affected are:

  • 10.1
  • CS2.1
  • CS3.0
