Test ID:1.3.6.1.4.1.25623.1.0.50977
Category:Red Hat Local Security Checks
Title:RedHat Security Advisory RHSA-2003:167
Summary:NOSUMMARY
Description:Description:

The remote host is missing updates announced in
advisory RHSA-2003:167.

Lv is a powerful file viewer similar to less. It can decode and encode
multilingual streams through many coding systems, such as ISO-8859,
ISO-2022, EUC, SJIS Big5, HZ, and Unicode.

A bug has been found in versions of lv that read a .lv file in the current
working directory. Any user who subsequently runs lv in that directory
and uses the v (edit) command can be forced to execute an arbitrary program.

Users are advised to upgrade to these erratum packages, which contain a
version of lv that is patched to read the .lv configuration file only in
the user's home directory.

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
