Red Hat, Inc. Red Hat Security Advisory
Synopsis: Updated XEmacs packages available for Red Hat Powertools 6.2
Advisory ID: RHSA-2001:011-03
Issue date: 2001-02-02
Updated on: 2001-02-06
Product: Red Hat Powertools
Keywords: xemacs gnuserv gnuclient
Cross references:
Obsoletes:
---------------------------------------------------------------------
1. Topic:
2. Relevant releases/architectures:
Red Hat Powertools 6.2 - alpha, i386, sparc
3. Problem description:
The XEmacs package as shipped with Red Hat PowerTools 6.2 has a security
problem with gnuserv and gnuclient, due to a buffer overflow and weak
security.
Note that this package obsoletes xemacs-mule (this is now compiled into the
main binary), xemacs-static, xemacs-extras and xemacs-noX, as this is a
backport of a newer xemacs package.
4. Solution:
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.
