Detail
| Problem Description: An updated mc package that resolves several shell escape security issues is now available. 2. Relevant releases/architectures: Red Hat Enterprise Linux AS (Advanced Server) version 2.1 - i386, ia64 Red Hat Linux Advanced Workstation 2.1 - ia64 Red Hat Enterprise Linux WS version 2.1 - i386 3. Problem description: Midnight Commander (mc) is a visual shell much like a file manager. Shell escape bugs have been discovered in several of the mc vfs backend scripts. An attacker who is able to influence a victim to open a specially-crafted URI using mc could execute arbitrary commands as the victim. The Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures project (cve.mitre.org) has assigned the name CAN-2004-0494 to this issue. Users of mc should upgrade to this updated package which contains backported patches and is not vulnerable to this issue. 4. Solution: Before applying this update, make sure that all previously-released errata relevant to your system have been applied. Use Red Hat Network to download and update your packages. To launch the Red Hat Update Agent, use the following command: up2date For information on how to install packages manually, refer to the following Web page for the System Administration or Customization guide specific to your system: http://www.redhat.com/docs/manuals/enterprise/ 5. Bug IDs fixed (http://bugzilla.redhat.com/ for more info): 127974 - CAN-2004-0494 extfs vfs vulnerability in mc |
