Test ID:1.3.6.1.4.1.25623.1.0.51458
Category:Conectiva Local Security Checks
Title:Conectiva Security Advisory CLA-2003:737
Summary:NOSUMMARY
Description:Description:

The remote host is missing updates announced in
advisory CLA-2003:737.

The gtkhtml library is used by Evolution and other Gnome programs to
render basic HTML. Evolution is a Gnome-based personal information
manager (PIM) which includes e-mail, address book, calendar and other
integrated features.

Alan Cox discovered two vulnerabilities (CVE-2003-0541[1] and
CVE-2003-0133[2]) in the gtkhtml library. These vulnerabilities can
be exploited to at least crash programs linked to gtkhtml by using
malformed HTML. In the case of Evolution, a remote attacker can use
an HTML mail as an attack vector.

This update includes fixes for both vulnerabilities. Please note that
the second one (CVE-2003-0133) affects only the gtkhtml version
distributed with Conectiva Linux 9.


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