 Mandriva Linux Security Advisory                         MDKSA-2006:140
 http://www.mandriva.com/security/
 _______________________________________________________________________
 
 Package : ncompress
 Date    : August 9, 2006
 Affected: 2006.0, Corporate 3.0
 _______________________________________________________________________
 
 Problem Description:
 
 Tavis Ormandy, of the Google Security Team, discovered that ncompress,
 when uncompressing data, performed no bounds checking, which could
 allow a specially crafted datastream to underflow a .bss buffer with
 attacker controlled data.
 
 Updated packages have been patched to correct this issue.
