Synopsis

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

Description

Multiple vulnerabilities has been found and corrected in libzip :

libzip (version <= 0.10) uses an incorrect loop construct, which can result in a heap overflow on corrupted zip files (CVE-2012-1162).

libzip (version <= 0.10) has a numeric overflow condition, which, for example, results in improper restrictions of operations within the bounds of a memory buffer (e.g., allowing information leaks) (CVE-2012-1163).

The updated packages have been upgraded to the 0.10.1 version to correct these issues.

Solution

Update the affected packages.
