Title:	Conectiva Security Advisory CLA-2002:490
Summary:	NOSUMMARY
Description:	Description: The remote host is missing updates announced in advisory CLA-2002:490. Mozilla is an open-source web browser designed for standards compliance, performance and portability. GreyMagic Security found[1] a vulnerability[2] in mozilla prior to version 1.0rc1 which allows a hostile site to read and list user files. The vulnerability was related to the XMLHTTP, a component that is primarily used for retrieving XML documents from a web server. This update also solves other vulnerabilities: - IRC Buffer Overflow Vulnerability[3] - Local File Detection Vulnerability[4] - JavaScript Interpreter Denial Of Service Vulnerability[5] - Null Character Cookie Stealing Vulnerability[6]* * Conectiva Linux 8 is not vulnerable. The packages included with this update are of Mozilla 1.0rc2, which fixes all the problems listed above. These vulnerabilities also affect the Galeon web browser, since it uses the Mozilla engine. There will be no updated Galeon packages for Conectiva Linux 6.0 and 7.0. Galeon in these versions of the distribution was in its early stages of development and will not work with the new Mozilla packages. A new version of Galeon for these distributions would need many other updated packages and will not be provided. Solution: The apt tool can be used to perform RPM package upgrades by running 'apt-get update' followed by 'apt-get upgrade' http://sec.greymagic.com/adv/gm001-ns/ http://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=141061 http://online.securityfocus.com/archive/1/270249 http://online.securityfocus.com/archive/1/270249 http://online.securityfocus.com/archive/1/262994 http://online.securityfocus.com/archive/1/251788 http://www.securityspace.com/smysecure/catid.html?in=CLA-2002:490 http://distro.conectiva.com.br/atualizacoes/index.php?id=a&anuncio=002002 Risk factor : High
