Title:	RedHat Security Advisory RHSA-2003:289
Summary:	NOSUMMARY
Description:	Description: The remote host is missing updates announced in advisory RHSA-2003:289. XFree86 is an implementation of the X Window System providing the core graphical user interface and video drivers. XDM is the X display manager. Multiple integer overflows in the transfer and enumeration of font libraries in XFree86 allow local or remote attackers to cause a denial of service or execute arbitrary code via heap-based and stack-based buffer overflow attacks. The Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures project (cve.mitre.org) has assigned the name CVE-2003-0730 to this issue. The risk to users from this vulnerability is limited because only clients can be affected by these bugs, however in some (non-default) configurations, both xfs and the X Server can act as clients to remote font servers. XDM does not verify whether the pam_setcred function call succeeds, which may allow attackers to gain root privileges by triggering error conditions within PAM modules, as demonstrated in certain configurations of the pam_krb5 module. The Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures project (cve.mitre.org) has assigned the name CVE-2003-0690 to this issue. Users are advised to upgrade to these updated XFree86 4.1.0 packages, which contain backported security patches and are not vulnerable to these issues. Solution: Please note that this update is available via Red Hat Network. To use Red Hat Network, launch the Red Hat Update Agent with the following command: up2date http://rhn.redhat.com/errata/RHSA-2003-289.html Risk factor : Critical CVSS Score: 10.0
