Title:RedHat Security Advisory RHSA-2002:255
Summary:NOSUMMARY
Description:Description:

The remote host is missing updates announced in
advisory RHSA-2002:255.

Updated Webalizer packages are available for Red Hat Linux Advanced Server
2.1 which fix an obscure buffer overflow bug in the DNS resolver code.

[Updated 13 Jan 2003]
Added fixed packages for the Itanium (IA64) architecture.

[Updated 06 Feb 2003]
Added fixed packages for Advanced Workstation 2.1

Webalizer is a Web server log file analysis program which produces
detailed usage reports in HTML format.

A buffer overflow in Webalizer versions prior to 2.01-10, when configured
to use reverse DNS lookups, may allow remote attackers to execute arbitrary
code by connecting to the monitored Web server from an IP address that
resolves to a long hostname.

Users of Webalizer are advised to upgrade to these errata packages which
contain Webalizer version 2.01-09 with backported security and bug fix patches.
