Title:	Fedora Core 2 FEDORA-2004-130 (neon)
Summary:	NOSUMMARY
Description:	Description: The remote host is missing an update to neon announced via advisory FEDORA-2004-130. neon is an HTTP and WebDAV client library, with a C interface providing a high-level interface to HTTP and WebDAV methods along with a low-level interface for HTTP request handling. neon supports persistent connections, proxy servers, basic, digest and Kerberos authentication, and has complete SSL support. Update Information: Stefan Esser discovered a flaw in the neon library which allows a heap buffer overflow in a date parsing routine. An attacker could create a malicious WebDAV server in such a way as to allow arbitrary code execution on the client should a user connect to it using a neon-based application which uses the date parsing routines, such as cadaver. The Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures project (cve.mitre.org) has assigned the name CVE-2004-0398 to this issue. This update includes packages with a patch for this issue.
