Description David Walser 2012-08-14 22:20:35 CEST
Fedora has issued an advisory on July 22, 2011:
http://lists.fedoraproject.org/pipermail/package-announce/2011-August/063300.html

They updated to 5.6.7, which fixes this issue.

Mageia 2 is not vulnerable as these were also fixed in 6.0.1.

Comment 3 Samuel Verschelde 2012-08-16 23:39:25 CEST
Testing i586:

(To Oliver Burger: question for you near the end)

# urpmi mapserver

Then went to http://localhost/cgi-bin/mapserv and get the standard "No query information to decode. QUERY_STRING is set, but empty."

Downloaded tutorial data from http://mapserver.org/tutorial/background.html (mapserver-tutorial.zip) and extracted it to /tmp

Then check:

http://localhost/cgi-bin/mapserv?map=/tmp/ms4w/apps/tutorial/htdocs/example1-5.map&layer=states&layer=states_line&layer=states_label&layer=modis&mode=map

This should display a map. I took and adapted this link from the tutorial at http://mapserver.org/tutorial/section1.html

The following URL fails unless I install the "proj" package. Oliver: should a requires or suggest be added (I'm not putting the feedback whiteboard marker since my question is not about a blocking regression)?

http://localhost/cgi-bin/mapserv?map=/tmp/ms4w/apps/tutorial/htdocs/example1-6.map&layer=states&layer=states_label&layer=modis&mode=map
