Mandrakelinux Security Update Advisory
Package name: mpg123
Problem Description:
A vulnerability in mpg123 was discovered by Davide Del Vecchio where
certain malicious mpg3/2 files would cause mpg123 to fail header
checks, which could in turn allow arbitrary code to be executed with
the privileges of the user running mpg123 (CAN-2004-0805).
As well, an older vulnerability in mpg123, where a response from a
remote HTTP server could overflow a buffer allocated on the heap, is
also fixed in these packages. This vulnerability could also
potentially permit the execution of arbitray code with the privileges
of the user running mpg123 (CAN-2003-0865).

Mandrakelinux Security Update Advisory
Package name: webmin
Problem Description:
A vulnerability in webmin was discovered by Ludwig Nussel. A temporary
directory was used in webmin, however it did not check for the previous
owner of the directory. This could allow an attacker to create the
directory and place dangerous symbolic links inside.
The updated packages are patched to prevent this problem.

Mandrakelinux Security Update Advisory
Package name: ImageMagick
Problem Description:
Several buffer overflow vulnerabilities in ImageMagick were discovered
by Marcus Meissner from SUSE. These vulnerabilities would allow an
attacker to create a malicious image or video file in AVI, BMP, or DIB
formats which could crash the reading process. It may be possible to
create malicious images that could also allow for the execution of
arbitray code with the privileges of the invoking user or process.
The updated packages provided are patched to correct these problems.
