Mandrake security alert: Updated pwlib packages fix vulnerability

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1

Mandrakelinux Security Update Advisory _______________________________________________________________________

Package name: pwlib Advisory ID: MDKSA-2004:017 Date: March 3rd, 2004

Affected versions: 9.1, 9.2 ______________________________________________________________________

Problem Description:

The NISCC uncovered bugs in pwlib prior to version 1.6.0 via a test suite for the H.225 protocol. An attacker could trigger these bugs by sending carefully crafted messages to an application that uses pwlib, and the severity would vary based on the application, but likely would result in a Denial of Service (DoS). The updated packages provide backported fixes from Craig Southeren of the OpenH323 project to protect against this issue. _______________________________________________________________________
