Category:	Conectiva Local Security Checks
Title:	Conectiva Security Advisory CLA-2003:720
Summary:	Conectiva Security Advisory CLA-2003:720
Description:	The remote host is missing updates announced in advisory CLA-2003:720. Lynx is a text terminal based web browser. Ulf Harnhammar reported[1] a CRLF (Carriage Return, Line Feed) injection vulnerability in lynx. When handling a URL supplied through the command line, lynx does not filter out characters such as spaces, CR, LF, etc, which allows an attacker to inject HTTP headers and cause program misbehavior[2] by using a specially crafted URL. The Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures project (cve.mitre.org) has assigned the name CVE-2002-1405 to this issue[3]. The package distributed with Conectiva Linux 9 (lynx-2.8.4-25963cl) already contains a fix and is not vulnerable to this problem. Solution: The apt tool can be used to perform RPM package upgrades by running 'apt-get update' followed by 'apt-get upgrade' http://marc.theaimsgroup.com/?l=bugtraq&m=102978118411977&w=2 http://marc.theaimsgroup.com/?l=bugtraq&m=103003793418021&w=2 http://cve.mitre.org/cgi-bin/cvename.cgi?name=CVE-2002-1405 http://www.securityspace.com/smysecure/catid.html?in=CLA-2003:720 http://distro.conectiva.com.br/atualizacoes/index.php?id=a&anuncio=002003 Risk factor : Medium
