MDKSA-2004:017 - Updated pwlib packages fix vulnerability



-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE-----
Hash: SHA1

 _______________________________________________________________________

                 Mandrakelinux Security Update Advisory
 _______________________________________________________________________

 Package name:           pwlib
 Advisory ID:            MDKSA-2004:017
 Date:                   March 3rd, 2004

 Affected versions:      9.1, 9.2
 ______________________________________________________________________

 Problem Description:

 The NISCC uncovered bugs in pwlib prior to version 1.6.0 via a test
 suite for the H.225 protocol.  An attacker could trigger these bugs
 by sending carefully crafted messages to an application that uses
 pwlib, and the severity would vary based on the application, but
 likely would result in a Denial of Service (DoS).
 
 The updated packages provide backported fixes from Craig Southeren
 of the OpenH323 project to protect against this issue.
