Issue date: 2003-04-14
Updated on: 2003-04-14
Product: Red Hat Linux
Keywords:
Cross references:

CVE Names: CAN-2003-0133
---------------------------------------------------------------------
1. Topic:
Updated gtkhtml packages that fix a vulnerability are available.
2. Relevant releases/architectures:
Red Hat Linux 9 - i386
3. Problem description:
GtkHTML is the HTML rendering widget used by the Evolution mail
reader.
GtkHTML supplied with versions of Evolution prior to 1.2.4 contain a
bug when handling HTML messages. Alan Cox discovered that certain
malformed messages could cause the Evolution mail component to crash.
Users of Evolution are advised to upgrade to these erratum packages,
which contain a backported fix correcting 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.
5. RPMs required:
Red Hat Linux 9:
SRPMS:
ftp://updates.redhat.com/9/en/os/SRPMS/gtkhtml-1.1.9-0.9.src.rpm
i386:
ftp://updates.redhat.com/9/en/os/i386/gtkhtml-1.1.9-0.9.i386.rpm
ftp://updates.redhat.com/9/en/os/i386/gtkhtml-devel-1.1.9-0.9.i386.rpm
6. Verification:
