Ärende: [RHSA-2002:293-09] Updated Fetchmail packages fix security vulnerability
------------------------------------------------------------
---------------------------------------------------------------------
Red Hat, Inc. Red Hat Security Advisory
Synopsis: Updated Fetchmail packages fix security vulnerability
Advisory ID: RHSA-2002:293-09
Issue date: 2002-12-16
Updated on: 2002-12-17
Product: Red Hat Linux
Keywords: flaw:buf fetchmail
Cross references:
Obsoletes: RHSA-2002:215
CVE Names: CAN-2002-1365
---------------------------------------------------------------------
1. Topic:
Updated Fetchmail packages are available for Red Hat Linux versions
6.2, 7, 7.1, 7.2, 7.3, and 8.0 which close a remotely-exploitable
vulnerability in unpatched versions of Fetchmail prior to 6.2.0.
2. Relevant releases/architectures:
Red Hat Linux 6.2 - i386
Red Hat Linux 7.0 - i386
Red Hat Linux 7.1 - i386
Red Hat Linux 7.2 - i386, ia64
Red Hat Linux 7.3 - i386
Red Hat Linux 8.0 - i386
3. Problem description:
Fetchmail is a remote mail retrieval and forwarding utility intended
for use over on-demand TCP/IP links such as SLIP and PPP connections.
A bug has been found in the header parsing code in versions of
Fetchmail prior to 6.2.0.
This bug allows a remote attacker to crash Fetchmail and potentially
execute arbitrary code by sending a carefully crafted email which is
then parsed by Fetchmail.
All users of Fetchmail are advised to upgrade to the errata packages
containing a backported fix which corrects this issue.
4. Solution:
Before applying this update, make sure all previously released errata
relevant to your system have been applied.
To update all RPMs for your particular architecture, run:
rpm -Fvh [filenames]
where [filenames] is a list of the RPMs you wish to upgrade. Only
those RPMs which are currently installed will be updated. Those RPMs
which are not installed but included in the list will not be updated.
Note that you can also use wildcards (*.rpm) if your current
directory *only* contains the desired RPMs.
Please note that this update is also available via Red Hat Network.
Many people find this an easier way to apply updates. To use Red Hat
Network, launch the Red Hat Update Agent with the following command:
up2date
This will start an interactive process that will result in the
appropriate RPMs being upgraded on your system.
