Mandrakelinux Security Update Advisory
_______________________________________________________________________
Package name: sysklogd
Advisory ID: MDKSA-2004:038
Date: April 28th, 2004
Affected versions: 10.0, 9.1, 9.2, Corporate Server 2.1,
Multi Network Firewall 8.2
______________________________________________________________________
Problem Description:
Steve Grubb discovered a bug in sysklogd where it allocates an
insufficient amount of memory which causes sysklogd to write to
unallocated memory. This could allow for a malicious user to crash
sysklogd.
The updated packages provide a patched sysklogd using patches from
Openwall to correct the problem and also corrects the use of an
unitialized variable (a previous use of "count").
