-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 _______________________________________________________________________ Mandriva Linux Security Advisory MDVSA-2012:158 http://www.mandriva.com/security/ _______________________________________________________________________ Package : gc Date : October 3, 2012 Affected: 2011., Enterprise Server 5.0 _______________________________________________________________________ Problem Description: A security issue was identified and fixed in gc: Multiple integer overflows in the (1) GC_generic_malloc and (2) calloc funtions in malloc.c, and the (3) GC_generic_malloc_ignore_off_page function in mallocx.c in Boehm-Demers-Weiser GC (libgc) before 7.2 make it easier for context-dependent attackers to perform memory-related attacks such as buffer overflows via a large size value, which causes less memory to be allocated than expected (CVE-2012-2673). The updated packages have been patched to correct this issue. _______________________________________________________________________ References: http://cve.mitre.org/cgi-bin/cvename.cgi?name=CVE-2012-2673 _______________________________________________________________________ Updated Packages: Mandriva Linux 2011: ff80b2641fc3764b7ed98eb6a8b7310a 2011/i586/libgc1-7.1-8.1-mdv2011.0.i586.rpm 85d77990548165fb44b9969ebaa37a08 2011/i586/libgc-devel-7.1-8.1-mdv2011.0.i586.rpm 9a40880c129be459fab7610510bb3dea 2011/i586/libgc-static-devel-7.1-8.1-mdv2011.0.i586.rpm 3433f6fce39c37469114ce2e40770570 2011/SRPMS/gc-7.1-8.1.src.rpm Mandriva Linux 2011/X86_64: ac0a695e6ba1d01c58db329ac275e029 2011/x86_64/lib64gc1-7.1-8.1-mdv2011.0.x86_64.rpm 2b73bed5897460c97e03a8bc4eb512c4 2011/x86_64/lib64gc-devel-7.1-8.1-mdv2011.0.x86_64.rpm ed2ca7c3c40648a6074e0a5990c49efa 2011/x86_64/lib64gc-static-devel-7.1-8.1-mdv2011.0.x86_64.rpm 3433f6fce39c37469114ce2e40770570 2011/SRPMS/gc-7.1-8.1.src.rpm Mandriva Enterprise Server 5: 4d2dc87cd0f10a438e98f38bf9f53d86 mes5/i586/libgc1-7.1-2.1mdvmes5.2.i586.rpm fa03fc646070e70d995f3f09d0121754 mes5/i586/libgc-devel-7.1-2.1mdvmes5.2.i586.rpm 12278c7b66468f7d4bb8bbfbd3140e54 mes5/i586/libgc-static-devel-7.1-2.1mdvmes5.2.i586.rpm 04ee1a3f43fdc35db778f7173a78462a mes5/SRPMS/gc-7.1-2.1mdvmes5.2.src.rpm Mandriva Enterprise Server 5/X86_64: a0ba63a6646876564e4f67559213d785 mes5/x86_64/lib64gc1-7.1-2.1mdvmes5.2.x86_64.rpm 76159b94d17a53b8946e61e87c7a474a mes5/x86_64/lib64gc-devel-7.1-2.1mdvmes5.2.x86_64.rpm 5a9475c338a052ad9b6b6cd2a29e89ac mes5/x86_64/lib64gc-static-devel-7.1-2.1mdvmes5.2.x86_64.rpm 04ee1a3f43fdc35db778f7173a78462a mes5/SRPMS/gc-7.1-2.1mdvmes5.2.src.rpm _______________________________________________________________________ To upgrade automatically use MandrivaUpdate or urpmi.
