Mandrake Linux Security Update Advisory
________________________________________________________________________
Package name: gkrellm
Advisory ID: MDKSA-2003:087
Date: August 28th, 2003
Affected versions: 9.1
________________________________________________________________________
Problem Description:
A buffer overflow was discovered in gkrellmd, the server component of
the gkrellm monitor package, in versions of gkrellm 2.1.x prior to
2.1.14. This buffer overflow occurs while reading data from connected
gkrellm clients and can lead to possible arbitrary code execution as
the user running the gkrellmd server.
Updated packages are available for Mandrake Linux 9.1 which correct the
problem.
