Title:	RedHat Security Advisory RHSA-2004:536
Summary:	NOSUMMARY
Description:	Description: The remote host is missing updates announced in advisory RHSA-2004:536. The ncompress package contains the compress and uncompress file compression and decompression utilities, which are compatible with the original UNIX compress utility (.Z file extensions). A bug in the way ncompress handles long filenames has been discovered. ncompress versions 4.2.4 and earlier contain a stack based buffer overflow when handling very long filenames. It is possible that an attacker could execute arbitrary code on a victims machine by tricking the user into decompressing a carefully crafted filename. The Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures project (cve.mitre.org) has assigned the name CVE-2001-1413 to this issue. This updated ncompress package also fixes a problem in the handling of files larger than 2 GB. All users of ncompress should upgrade to this updated package, which contains fixes for these issues. 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 http://rhn.redhat.com/errata/RHSA-2004-536.html http://www.kb.cert.org/vuls/id/176363 Risk factor : High CVSS Score: 7.5
