Title:	Conectiva Security Advisory CLA-2001:411
Summary:	NOSUMMARY
Description:	Description: The remote host is missing updates announced in advisory CLA-2001:411. Window Maker is a popular window manager. Robert Marshall reported a crash problem with Window Maker. Further investigation by Alban Hertroys showed this to be a buffer overflow in the window title handling code. Many applications, in particular web browsers, set the window title to something obtained from the network, such as the title of a webpage being viewed by an user. Thus this could be exploited remotely. The authors of Window Maker, with contributions from Alban Hertroys, released a new version (0.65.1) which addresses this vulnerability. A patch was made available for previous versions. Solution: The apt tool can be used to perform RPM package upgrades by running 'apt-get update' followed by 'apt-get upgrade' http://www.securityspace.com/smysecure/catid.html?in=CLA-2001:411 http://distro.conectiva.com.br/atualizacoes/index.php?id=a&anuncio=000411 Risk factor : High
