http://www.mandriva.com/en/support/security/
_______________________________________________________________________
Package : e2fsprogs
Date : March 27, 2015
Affected: Business Server 1.0
_______________________________________________________________________
Problem Description:
Updated e2fsprogs packages fix security vulnerability:
The libext2fs library, part of e2fsprogs and utilized by its utilities,
is affected by a boundary check error on block group descriptor
information, leading to a heap based buffer overflow. A specially
crafted filesystem image can be used to trigger the vulnerability. This
is due to an incomplete fix for CVE-2015-0247 (CVE-2015-1572).
