Test ID:1.3.6.1.4.1.25623.1.0.51343
Category:Conectiva Local Security Checks
Title:Conectiva Security Advisory CLA-2004:840
Summary:NOSUMMARY
Description:Description:

The remote host is missing updates announced in
advisory CLA-2004:840.

Lha is an archiving and compression utility for LHarc format
archives.

Ulf Härnhammar discovered a buffer overflow[1] and a directory
traversal [2]vulnerability in the lha utility. Both vulnerabilities
can be exploited by an attacker with the use of specially crafted
LHarc archives. When processed by lha, these files may cause it to
execute arbitrary code (exploiting the buffer overflow vulnerability)
or overwrite arbitrary files if the user unpacking the malicious
archive has sufficient filesystem permissions to do so (exploiting
the directory traversal vulnerability).

This update fixes both issues.


Solution:
The apt tool can be used to perform RPM package upgrades
by running 'apt-get update' followed by 'apt-get upgrade'
