Title: Two Mandriva Security Advisories: 1. MDKA-2006:054 - Updated dbus packages fix D-Bus specification compliance 2. MDKSA-2006:218 - Updated apache-mod_auth_kerb packages fixes DoS vulnerability
Abstract:
Vendors affected: Mandriva
Operating systems affected: Mandriva
Applications affected: Mandriva

Title
=====

Two Mandriva Security Advisories:

1. MDKA-2006:054 - Updated dbus packages fix D-Bus specification compliance

2. MDKSA-2006:218 - Updated apache-mod_auth_kerb packages fixes DoS vulnerability

Detail
======

1. On Mandriva Linux 2007.0, the path for D-Bus system bus socket was not
following D-Bus specification. This could cause some implementation of
the D-Bus specification to not detect the system bus correctly. This
updated package ensures the location of the system bus is exported
through DBUS_SYSTEM_BUS_ADDRESS, in compliance with D-Bus
specification.

2. An off-by-one error in the der_get_oid function in mod_auth_kerb 5.0
allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (crash) via a
crafted Kerberos message that triggers a heap-based buffer overflow in
the component array.
