Mandriva Update for gc MDVSA-2012:158 (gc). The remote host is missing an update for the 'gc' package(s) announced via the referenced advisory. Multiple integer overflows in the GC_generic_malloc and calloc functions in malloc.c, and the GC_generic_malloc_ignore_off_page function in mallocx.c in Boehm-Demers-Weiser GC (libgc) before 7.2 make it easier for context-dependent attackers to perform memory-related attacks such as buffer overflows via a large size value, which causes less memory to be allocated than expected (CVE-2012-2673). The updated packages have been patched to correct this issue
