Mandriva Linux Security Advisory 2009-318

Mandriva Linux Security Advisory 2009-318 – Multiple security vulnerabilities has been identified and fixed A missing check for the recommended minimum length of the truncated form of HMAC-based XML signatures was found in xmlsec1 prior to 1.2.12. An attacker could use this flaw to create a specially-crafted XML file that forges an XML signature, allowing the attacker to bypass authentication that is based on the XML Signature specification. All versions of libtool prior to 2.2.6b suffers from a local privilege escalation vulnerability that could be exploited under certain conditions to load arbitrary code. Packages for 2008.0 are being provided due to extended support for Corporate products. This update fixes this vulnerability.
