Slackware 14.2: SSA:2023-002-02 Severe: Libxml2 Buffer Overflow

slackware
Calendar Grey June 6, 2014
Dist Slackware Esm H88
OpenSSL libraries revised for Debian to resolve buffer overflow and unauthorized access vulnerabilities. Urgent maintenance required.
New gnutls packages are available for Slackware 13.0, 13.1, 13.37, 14.0, 14.1, and -current to fix security issues

Summary

Here are the details from the Slackware 14.1 ChangeLog: patches/packages/gnutls-3.1.25-i486-1_slack14.1.txz: Upgraded. A security issue has been corrected in gnutls. This vulnerability affects the client side of the gnutls library. A server that sends a specially crafted ServerHello could corrupt the memory of a requesting client. This may allow a remote attacker to execute arbitrary code. Additional vulnerabilities in the embedded libtasn1 library have also been patched. Thanks to mancha for the backported patches.
