Category:	Slackware Local Security Checks
Title:	Slackware: Security Advisory (SSA:2004-266-03)
Summary:	The remote host is missing an update for the 'Mozilla' package(s) announced via the SSA:2004-266-03 advisory.
Description:	Summary: The remote host is missing an update for the 'Mozilla' package(s) announced via the SSA:2004-266-03 advisory. Vulnerability Insight: New Mozilla 1.7.3 packages are available for Slackware 10.0 and -current to fix security issues. Here are the details from the Slackware 10.0 ChangeLog: +--------------------------+ patches/packages/mozilla-1.7.3-i486-1.tgz: Upgraded to mozilla-1.7.3. The Mozilla page says this fixes some 'minor security holes'. It also breaks Galeon and Epiphany, and new versions of these have still not appeared. In light of this, I think it's time to remove these Gecko-based browsers. The future is going to be Firefox and Thunderbird anyway, and I don't believe Galeon and Epiphany can be compiled against Firefox's libraries. (* Security fix *) +--------------------------+ [ Philip Langdale of the Galeon project was kind enough to write to tell me that Galeon can be compiled against Mozilla 1.7.3 if this option is used: --with-mozilla-snapshot=1.7.2 The point about Firefox remains though. I don't intend to support the Mozilla suite, a number of browsers that depend on it, and Firefox and Thunderbird. While these are all great projects the goal will be to choose the best one and go with it. ] Affected Software/OS: 'Mozilla' package(s) on Slackware 10.0, Slackware current. Solution: Please install the updated package(s). CVSS Score: 5.0 CVSS Vector: AV:N/AC:L/Au:N/C:P/I:N/A:N
