-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 _______________________________________________________________________ Mandriva Linux Security Advisory MDVSA-2012:111 http://www.mandriva.com/security/ _______________________________________________________________________ Package : libgdata Date : July 25, 2012 Affected: 2011. _______________________________________________________________________ Problem Description: A vulnerability has been discovered and corrected in libgdata: It was found that previously libgdata, a GLib-based library for accessing online service APIs using the GData protocol, did not perform SSL certificates validation even for secured connections. An application, linked against the libgdata library and holding the trust about the other side of the connection being the valid owner of the certificate, could be tricked into accepting of a spoofed SSL certificate by mistake (MITM attack) (CVE-2012-1177). The updated packages have been patched to correct this issue. _______________________________________________________________________ References: http://cve.mitre.org/cgi-bin/cvename.cgi?name=CVE-2012-1177 _______________________________________________________________________ Updated Packages: Mandriva Linux 2011: 89a6a32f5646b3f0715f4b5aae9417da 2011/i586/libgdata7-0.6.6-3.1-mdv2011.0.i586.rpm 2ae4cc4593558f7dbaf9be83332e08bf 2011/i586/libgdata-devel-0.6.6-3.1-mdv2011.0.i586.rpm 791cf2dd05644c7f0cae18c6c4ef54f4 2011/i586/libgdata-i18n-0.6.6-3.1-mdv2011.0.i586.rpm c7a06ba47e81e6698aadb34aa819c049 2011/SRPMS/libgdata-0.6.6-3.1.src.rpm Mandriva Linux 2011/X86_64: 04a57281b6795d1662bffef7c4d66563 2011/x86_64/lib64gdata7-0.6.6-3.1-mdv2011.0.x86_64.rpm a97a13fb019e5430775d6acac1368db7 2011/x86_64/lib64gdata-devel-0.6.6-3.1-mdv2011.0.x86_64.rpm 725b3d53007a53b80cad2b790cb346aa 2011/x86_64/libgdata-i18n-0.6.6-3.1-mdv2011.0.x86_64.rpm c7a06ba47e81e6698aadb34aa819c049 2011/SRPMS/libgdata-0.6.6-3.1.src.rpm _______________________________________________________________________ To upgrade automatically use MandrivaUpdate or urpmi.
