Test ID: | 1.3.6.1.4.1.25623.1.0.51229 |
Category: | Red Hat Local Security Checks |
Title: | RedHat Security Advisory RHSA-2002:191 |
Summary: | NOSUMMARY |
Description: | Description: The remote host is missing updates announced in advisory RHSA-2002:191. Updated gaim packages are now available for Red Hat Linux Advanced Server. These updates fix a vulnerability in the default URL handler. Gaim is an all-in-one instant messaging client that lets you use a number of messaging protocols such as AIM, ICQ, and Yahoo, all at once. Versions of gaim prior to 0.59.1 contain a bug in the URL handler of the manual browser option. A link can be carefully crafted to contain an arbitrary shell script which will be executed if the user clicks on the link. Users of gaim should update to these errata packages containing gaim 0.59.1 which is not vulnerable to this issue. 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-2002-191.html http://gaim.sourceforge.net/ChangeLog Risk factor : High CVSS Score: 7.5 |
