Title:	RedHat Security Advisory RHSA-2006:0727
Summary:	NOSUMMARY
Description:	Description: The remote host is missing updates announced in advisory RHSA-2006:0727. Texinfo is a documentation system that can produce both online information and printed output from a single source file. A buffer overflow flaw was found in Texinfo's texindex command. An attacker could construct a carefully crafted Texinfo file that could cause texindex to crash or possibly execute arbitrary code when opened. (CVE-2006-4810) A flaw was found in the way Texinfo's texindex command creates temporary files. A local user could leverage this flaw to overwrite files the user executing texindex has write access to. (CVE-2005-3011) Users of Texinfo should upgrade to these updated packages which contain backported patches and are not vulnerable to these issues. 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-2006-0727.html http://www.redhat.com/security/updates/classification/#moderate Risk factor : Medium CVSS Score: 4.6
