Mandrakelinux Security Update Advisory


Package name: mpg123
Advisory ID: MDKSA-2004:100
Date: September 22nd, 2004
Affected versions: 10.0, 9.2, Corporate Server 2.1


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
Advisory ID: MDKSA-2004:101
Date: September 22nd, 2004
Affected versions: 10.0, 9.2, Corporate Server 2.1


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
Advisory ID: MDKSA-2004:102
Date: September 22nd, 2004
Affected versions: 10.0, 9.2, Corporate Server 2.1


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.
