Mandrake Linux Security Advisory : ncpfs (MDKSA-2005:028)

high Nessus Plugin ID 16294

Synopsis

The remote Mandrake Linux host is missing one or more security updates.

Description

Erik Sjolund discovered two vulnerabilities in programs bundled with ncpfs. Due to a flaw in nwclient.c, utilities that use the NetWare client functions insecurely access files with elevated privileges (CVE-2005-0013), and there is a potentially exploitable buffer overflow in the ncplogin program (CVE-2005-0014).

As well, an older vulnerability found by Karol Wiesek is corrected with these new versions of ncpfs. Karol found a buffer overflow in the handling of the '-T' option in the ncplogin and ncpmap utilities (CVE-2004-1079).

Solution

Update the affected packages.
