_______________________________________________________________________ Mandriva Linux Security Advisory MDVSA-2009:249-1 http://www.mandriva.com/security/ _______________________________________________________________________ Package : newt Date : December 5, 2009 Affected: 2008.0 _______________________________________________________________________ Problem Description: A vulnerability was discovered and corrected in newt: A heap-based buffer overflow flaw was found in the way newt processes content that is to be displayed in a text dialog box. A local attacker could issue a specially-crafted text dialog box display request (direct or via a custom application), leading to a denial of service (application crash) or, potentially, arbitrary code execution with the privileges of the user running the application using the newt library (CVE-2009-2905). This update provides a solution to this vulnerability. Update: Packages for 2008.0 are being provided due to extended support for Corporate products. _______________________________________________________________________ References: http://cve.mitre.org/cgi-bin/cvename.cgi?name=CVE-2009-2905 _______________________________________________________________________ Updated Packages: Mandriva Linux 2008.0: 654a1c3c587c6a5a14e6f4d23e890483 2008.0/i586/libnewt0.52-0.52.6-3.1mdv2008.0.i586.rpm f0942a5df8fa536a02126f4034d3e53f 2008.0/i586/libnewt0.52-devel-0.52.6-3.1mdv2008.0.i586.rpm 0ce830ecabb85460249e58f53d1fe2c9 2008.0/i586/newt-0.52.6-3.1mdv2008.0.i586.rpm 228d192869250f150207ce14e8374fec 2008.0/SRPMS/newt-0.52.6-3.1mdv2008.0.src.rpm Mandriva Linux 2008.0/X86_64: 889b8c64d20e91ae4e05d0c7945cd45e 2008.0/x86_64/lib64newt0.52-0.52.6-3.1mdv2008.0.x86_64.rpm 57e8e2c4cffe147722dbc4a0054459c9 2008.0/x86_64/lib64newt0.52-devel-0.52.6-3.1mdv2008.0.x86_64.rpm d960d8c779078deea2e6c33b70b9685d 2008.0/x86_64/newt-0.52.6-3.1mdv2008.0.x86_64.rpm 228d192869250f150207ce14e8374fec 2008.0/SRPMS/newt-0.52.6-3.1mdv2008.0.src.rpm _______________________________________________________________________ To upgrade automatically use MandrivaUpdate or urpmi.
