Category:	Red Hat Local Security Checks
Title:	RedHat Security Advisory RHSA-2005:639
Summary:	NOSUMMARY
Description:	Description: The remote host is missing updates announced in advisory RHSA-2005:639. The kdenetwork package contains networking applications for the K Desktop Environment. Kopete is a KDE instant messenger which supports a number of protocols including ICQ, MSN, Yahoo, Jabber, and Gadu-Gadu. Multiple integer overflow flaws were found in the way Kopete processes Gadu-Gadu messages. A remote attacker could send a specially crafted Gadu-Gadu message which would cause Kopete to crash or possibly execute arbitrary code. The Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures project assigned the name CVE-2005-1852 to this issue. In order to be affected by this issue, a user would need to have registered with Gadu-Gadu and be signed in to the Gadu-Gadu server in order to receive a malicious message. In addition, Red Hat believes that the Exec-shield technology (enabled by default in Red Hat Enterprise Linux 4) would block attempts to remotely exploit this vulnerability. Note that this issue does not affect Red Hat Enterprise Linux 2.1 or 3. Users of Kopete should update to these packages which contain a patch to correct this issue. Solution: Please note that this update is available via Red Hat Network. To use Red Hat Network, launch the Red Hat Update Agent with the following command: up2date http://rhn.redhat.com/errata/RHSA-2005-639.html http://www.kde.org/info/security/advisory-20050721-1.txt Risk factor : High CVSS Score: 7.5
