Category:Mandrake Local Security Checks
Title:Mandrake Security Advisory MDKSA-2003:040 (Eterm)
Summary:NOSUMMARY
Description:Description:

The remote host is missing an update to Eterm
announced via advisory MDKSA-2003:040.

Digital Defense Inc. released a paper detailing insecurities in various
terminal emulators, including Eterm. Many of the features supported by
these programs can be abused when untrusted data is displayed on the
screen. This abuse can be anything from garbage data being displayed
to the screen or a system compromise.

These issues are corrected in Eterm 0.9.2, which is already included in
Mandrake Linux 9.1.

Affected versions: 9.0

Solution:
To upgrade automatically use MandrakeUpdate or urpmi. The verification
of md5 checksums and GPG signatures is performed automatically for you.
