Mandriva Linux Security Advisory MDVSA-2009:103-1
http://www.mandriva.com/security/
_______________________________________________________________________

Package : udev
Date : December 3, 2009
Affected: 2008.0
_______________________________________________________________________

Problem Description:

Security vulnerabilities have been identified and fixed in udev.

udev before 1.4.1 does not verify whether a NETLINK message originates
from kernel space, which allows local users to gain privileges by
sending a NETLINK message from user space (CVE-2009-1185).

Buffer overflow in the util_path_encode function in
udev/lib/libudev-util.c in udev before 1.4.1 allows local users to
cause a denial of service (service outage) via vectors that trigger
a call with crafted arguments (CVE-2009-1186).

The updated packages have been patched to prevent this.

Update:

Packages for 2008.0 are being provided due to extended support for
Corporate products.
