Test ID:1.3.6.1.4.1.25623.1.0.52770
Category:Fedora Local Security Checks
Title:Fedora Legacy Security Advisory FLSA-2004:1230
Summary:NOSUMMARY
Description:Description:

The remote host is missing updates announced in
advisory FLSA-2004:1230.

Elm is a terminal mode email user agent. The frm command is provided as
part of the Elm packages and gives a script_summary( list of the sender and
subject of selected messages in a mailbox or folder.

A buffer overflow vulnerability was found in the frm command. An attacker
could create a message with an overly long Subject line such that when the
frm command is run by a victim arbitrary code is executed. The Common
Vulnerabilities and Exposures project (cve.mitre.org) has assigned the
name CVE-2003-0966 to this issue.

Users of the frm command should update to these erratum packages, which
contain a backported security patch that corrects this issue.

Fedora Legacy would like to thank Paul Rubin for discovering and disclosing
this issue, and Jonny Strom for providing a backported fix for Red Hat
Linux 7.2 and 7.3.

All users are advised to upgrade to these errata packages, which contain a
backported security patch that corrects this issue.

Redhat 7.2
