openSUSE Security Update : mcrypt (openSUSE-SU-2012:1440-1)

medium Nessus Plugin ID 74803

Language:

Synopsis

The remote openSUSE host is missing a security update.

Description

Some potential mcrypt buffer overflows in the commandline tool were fixed, which could lead to early aborts of mcrypt. Due to FORTIFY_SOURCE catching such cases, it would have only aborted mcrypt with a buffer overflow backtrace.

Solution

Update the affected mcrypt packages.
