Mandriva Update for nut MDVSA-2012:087 (nut) The remote host is missing an update for the 'nut' package(s) announced via the referenced advisory. A vulnerability has been discovered and corrected in NUT: Buffer overflow in the addchar function in common/parseconf.c in upsd in Network UPS Tools (NUT) before 2.6.4 allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code or cause a denial of service (electric-power outage) via a long string containing non-printable characters (CVE-2012-2944). The updated packages have been patched to correct this issue
