Message-ID: <200309121314.KAA03481@frajuto.distro.conectiva> Date: Fri, 12 Sep 2003 10:14:05 -0300 From: Conectiva Updates <secure@...ectiva.com.br> To: conectiva-updates@...aleguas.conectiva.com.br, lwn@....net, bugtraq@...urityfocus.com, security-alerts@...uxsecurity.com, linsec@...ts.seifried.org Subject: [CLA-2003:737] Conectiva Security Announcement - gtkhtml -----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 - -------------------------------------------------------------------------- CONECTIVA LINUX SECURITY ANNOUNCEMENT - -------------------------------------------------------------------------- PACKAGE : gtkhtml SUMMARY : Buffer overflow vulnerability DATE : 2003-09-12 10:13:00 ID : CLA-2003:737 RELEVANT RELEASES : 7.0, 8, 9 - ------------------------------------------------------------------------- DESCRIPTION The gtkhtml library is used by Evolution and other Gnome programs to render basic HTML. Evolution is a Gnome-based personal information manager (PIM) which includes e-mail, address book, calendar and other integrated features. Alan Cox discovered two vulnerabilities (CAN-2003-0541[1] and CAN-2003-0133[2]) in the gtkhtml library. These vulnerabilities can be exploited to at least crash programs linked to gtkhtml by using malformed HTML. In the case of Evolution, a remote attacker can use an HTML mail as an attack vector. This update includes fixes for both vulnerabilities. Please note that the second one (CAN-2003-0133) affects only the gtkhtml version distributed with Conectiva Linux 9. SOLUTION All users should upgrade. Please note that in order to load the fixed library, it is necessary to restart all applications linked to it after the upgrade.
