Mandrake Linux Security Advisory : cups (MDKSA-2005:165)

A vulnerability in CUPS would treat a Location directive in cupsd.conf as case-sensitive, allowing attackers to bypass intended ACLs via a printer name containing uppercase or lowecase letters that are different from that which was specified in the Location directive. This issue only affects...

Mandrake Linux Security Advisory : clamav (MDKSA-2005:166)

A vulnerability was discovered in ClamAV versions prior to 0.87. A buffer overflow could occure when processing malformed UPX-packed executables. As well, it could be sent into an infinite loop when processing specially crafted FSG-packed executables. ClamAV version 0.87 is provided with this...

Mandrake Linux Security Advisory : kdebase (MDKSA-2005:160)

Ilja van Sprundel from suresec.org notified the KDE security team about a serious lock file handling error in kcheckpass that can, in some configurations, be used to gain root access. In order for an exploit to succeed, the directory /var/lock has to be writeable for a user that is allowed to...

Mandrake Linux Security Advisory : apache2 (MDKSA-2005:161)

A flaw was discovered in modssl's handling of the 'SSLVerifyClient' directive.
