Summary

The remote host is missing an update for the 'rpm' package(s) announced via the referenced advisory.

Insight

Insight

Multiple flaws were found in the way the RPM library parsed package headers. An attacker could create a specially-crafted RPM package that, when queried or installed, would cause rpm to crash or, potentially, execute arbitrary code (CVE-2011-3378). Additionally for Mandriva Linux 2009.0 and Mandriva Linux Enterprise Server 5 updated perl-URPM and lzma (xz v5) packages are being provided to support upgrading to Mandriva Linux 2011. The updated packages have been patched to correct these issues.
