Mandriva Linux Security Advisory MDVSA-2015:041
http://www.mandriva.com/en/support/security/
_______________________________________________________________________

Package : cabextract
Date : February 10, 2015
Affected: Business Server 1.0
_______________________________________________________________________

Problem Description:

Updated cabextract packages fix security vulnerability:

Libmspack, a library to provide compression and decompression of
some file formats used by Microsoft, is embedded in cabextract. A
specially crafted cab file can cause cabextract to hang forever. If
cabextract is exposed to any remotely-controlled user input, this
issue can cause a denial-of-service (CVE-2014-9556).
