Description David Walser 2014-08-20 20:36:07 CEST

grub2 bundles minilzo, which is affected by the CVE-2014-4607 issue from the LZO library.

Patched packages uploaded for Mageia 3, Mageia 4, and Cauldron.

Advisory:
========================

Updated grub2 packages fix security vulnerability:

An integer overflow in liblzo before 2.07 allows attackers to cause a denial
of service or possibly code execution in applications using performing LZO
decompression on a compressed payload from the attacker (CVE-2014-4607).

The grub2 package is built with a bundled copy of minilzo, which is a
part of liblzo containing the vulnerable code.
