Test Kennung:1.3.6.1.4.1.25623.1.0.51536
Kategorie:Conectiva Local Security Checks
Titel:Conectiva Security Advisory CLA-2002:526
Zusammenfassung:NOSUMMARY
Beschreibung:Description:

The remote host is missing updates announced in
advisory CLA-2002:526.

XChat is a popular graphical IRC client available in most linux
distributions.

XChat prior to version 1.8.9 has a vulnerability[1] that may allow a
remote attacker to execute arbitrary commands in the IRC client
context. The vulnerability resides in the way xchat handles the IRC
server response for the /dns command. It passes the response directly
to a shell without filtering it. An attacker with administration
privileges in the IRC server can insert escaped commands in such a
response, which will be executed by the client's shell.

Please note that in order to have this vulnerability exploited, the
xchat user must be connected to an IRC server where the attacker has
administration privileges and must also run the /dns command.


Solution:
The apt tool can be used to perform RPM package upgrades
by running 'apt-get update' followed by 'apt-get upgrade'
