Description Ville Skyttä 2007-11-05 21:08:43 UTC
http://nvd.nist.gov/nvd.cfm?cvename=CVE-2007-5197

"Buffer overflow in the Mono.Math.BigInteger class in Mono allows
context-dependent attackers to execute arbitrary code via unspecified vectors."

Patch extracted from Debian's 1.2.2.1-1etch1 patchkit (attached) seems to apply
to 1.2.5.1 in devel with some line offsets, I have done no further analysis.

Gentoo also has a patch, maybe a different one

Comment 3 Fedora Update System 2007-11-08 06:01:20 UTC
mono-1.2.5.1-2.fc8 has been pushed to the Fedora 8 stable repository.  If problems still persist, please make note of it in this bug report.

Comment 4 Lubomir Kundrak 2007-11-09 18:16:23 UTC
Alex: I'd urge this a bit. When are f6 and f7 versions likely to hit the
repositories? (I've noticed there was some issue with libs on 64 bit platforms..?)

Comment 5 Fedora Update System 2007-11-09 23:55:05 UTC
mono-1.2.3-5.fc7 has been pushed to the Fedora 7 stable repository.  If problems still persist, please make note of it in this bug report.
