Detail
| Problem Description: An updated gaim package that fixes security issues is now available for Red Hat Enterprise Linux 2.1. This update has been rated as having critical security impact by the Red Hat Security Response Team. 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 ES version 2.1 - i386 Red Hat Enterprise Linux WS version 2.1 - i386 3. Problem description: The Gaim application is a multi-protocol instant messaging client. A stack based buffer overflow bug was found in the way gaim processes a message containing a URL. A remote attacker could send a carefully crafted message resulting in the execution of arbitrary code on a victim's machine. The Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures project (cve.mitre.org) has assigned the name CAN-2005-1261 to this issue. A bug in the way Gaim processes SNAC packets was discovered. It is possible that a remote attacker could send a specially crafted SNAC packet to a Gaim client, causing the client to stop responding. The Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures project (cve.mitre.org) has assigned the name CAN-2005-0472 to this issue. Users of Gaim are advised to upgrade to this updated package which contains gaim version 0.59.9 with backported patches to correct these issues. 4. Solution: Before applying this update, make sure all previously released errata relevant to your system have been applied. This update is available via Red Hat Network. 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 Enterprise Linux AS (Advanced Server) version 2.1: SRPMS: ftp://updates.redhat.com/enterprise/2.1AS/en/os/SRPMS/gaim-0.59.9-4.el2.src.rpm f01435d610c70ca301e25da9790e73a1 gaim-0.59.9-4.el2.src.rpm i386: dd0961f496e0be18e79c1893e5b061f4 gaim-0.59.9-4.el2.i386.rpm ia64: 5f32a394431f368a7c9e049f4ebb7494 gaim-0.59.9-4.el2.ia64.rpm Red Hat Linux Advanced Workstation 2.1: SRPMS: ftp://updates.redhat.com/enterprise/2.1AW/en/os/SRPMS/gaim-0.59.9-4.el2.src.rpm f01435d610c70ca301e25da9790e73a1 gaim-0.59.9-4.el2.src.rpm ia64: 5f32a394431f368a7c9e049f4ebb7494 gaim-0.59.9-4.el2.ia64.rpm Red Hat Enterprise Linux ES version 2.1: SRPMS: ftp://updates.redhat.com/enterprise/2.1ES/en/os/SRPMS/gaim-0.59.9-4.el2.src.rpm f01435d610c70ca301e25da9790e73a1 gaim-0.59.9-4.el2.src.rpm i386: dd0961f496e0be18e79c1893e5b061f4 gaim-0.59.9-4.el2.i386.rpm Red Hat Enterprise Linux WS version 2.1: SRPMS: ftp://updates.redhat.com/enterprise/2.1WS/en/os/SRPMS/gaim-0.59.9-4.el2.src.rpm f01435d610c70ca301e25da9790e73a1 gaim-0.59.9-4.el2.src.rpm i386: dd0961f496e0be18e79c1893e5b061f4 gaim-0.59.9-4.el2.i386.rpm These packages are GPG signed by Red Hat for security.
