Mandriva Linux Security Advisory MDVSA-2009:157-1

http://www.mandriva.com/security/

_______________________________________________________________________

 

Package : perl-Compress-Raw-Zlib

Date : December 3, 2009

Affected: 2008.0

_______________________________________________________________________

 

Problem Description:

 

A vulnerability has been found and corrected in perl-Compress-Raw-Zlib:

 

Off-by-one error in the inflate function in Zlib.xs in

Compress::Raw::Zlib Perl module before 2.017, as used in AMaViS,

SpamAssassin, and possibly other products, allows context-dependent

attackers to cause a denial of service (hang or crash) via a crafted

zlib compressed stream that triggers a heap-based buffer overflow,

as exploited in the wild by Trojan.Downloader-71014 in June 2009

(CVE-2009-1391).

 

This update provides fixes for this vulnerability.

 

Update:

 

Packages for 2008.0 are being provided due to extended support for

Corporate products.
