--------------------------------------------------------------------- Fedora Update Notification FEDORA-2007-552 2007-05-31 --------------------------------------------------------------------- Product : Fedora Core 5 Name : devhelp Version : 0.11 Release : 7.fc5 Summary : API document browser Description : An API document browser for GNOME 2. --------------------------------------------------------------------- Update Information: Updated seamonkey packages that fix several security bugs are now available for Fedora Core 5. This update has been rated as having critical security impact by the Fedora Security Response Team. SeaMonkey is an open source Web browser, advanced email and newsgroup client, IRC chat client, and HTML editor. Several flaws were found in the way SeaMonkey processed certain malformed JavaScript code. A web page containing malicious JavaScript code could cause SeaMonkey to crash or potentially execute arbitrary code as the user running SeaMonkey. (CVE-2007-2867, CVE-2007-2868) A flaw was found in the way SeaMonkey handled certain FTP PASV commands. A malicious FTP server could use this flaw to perform a rudimentary port-scan of machines behind a user's firewall. (CVE-2007-1562) Several denial of service flaws were found in the way SeaMonkey handled certain form and cookie data. A malicious web site that is able to set arbitrary form and cookie data could prevent SeaMonkey from functioning properly. (CVE-2007-1362, CVE-2007-2869) A flaw was found in the way SeaMonkey processed certain APOP authentication requests. By sending certain responses when SeaMonkey attempted to authenticate against an APOP server, a remote attacker could potentially acquire certain portions of a user's authentication credentials. (CVE-2007-1558) A flaw was found in the way SeaMonkey handled the addEventListener JavaScript method. A malicious web site could use this method to access or modify sensitive data from another web site. (CVE-2007-2870) A flaw was found in the way SeaMonkey displayed certain web content. A malicious web page could generate content that would overlay user interface elements such as the hostname and security indicators, tricking users into thinking they are visiting a different site. (CVE-2007-2871) Users of SeaMonkey are advised to upgrade to these erratum packages, which contain SeaMonkey version 1.0.9 that corrects these issues. --------------------------------------------------------------------- * Wed May 30 2007 Christopher Aillon <caillon@redhat.com> - 0.11-7 - Rebuild against newer gecko * Fri Feb 16 2007 Martin Stransky <stransky@redhat.com> - 0.11-6 - Rebuild against seamonkey * Fri Dec 22 2006 Martin Stransky <stransky@redhat.com> - 0.11-5 - Rebuild against seamonkey * Mon Nov 13 2006 Martin Stransky <stransky@redhat.com> - 0.11-4 - Rebuild against seamonkey --------------------------------------------------------------------- This update can be downloaded from: http://download.fedora.redhat.com/pub/fedora/linux/core/u... f58d165919787c95a4d1c29508a3b077892acdca SRPMS/devhelp-0.11-7.fc5.src.rpm f58d165919787c95a4d1c29508a3b077892acdca noarch/devhelp-0.11-7.fc5.src.rpm e6cb0149b4755d5c70e7ce0a9f4d4779145818b2 ppc/devhelp-0.11-7.fc5.ppc.rpm 06df40639fdf5c32993b6d5dd7b5e2445d341eed ppc/debug/devhelp-debuginfo-0.11-7.fc5.ppc.rpm ff2fdf05eab52a1512521fce2297c282a8399d25 ppc/devhelp-devel-0.11-7.fc5.ppc.rpm ba0c3b7c0be5c75bbe609223e20145ecd5350c52 x86_64/devhelp-0.11-7.fc5.x86_64.rpm 40398e866c19be545c9d6152ad672871067d625c x86_64/devhelp-devel-0.11-7.fc5.x86_64.rpm 84e8ecd0fab8d411860474b33b7579001cf262d9 x86_64/debug/devhelp-debuginfo-0.11-7.fc5.x86_64.rpm 7fc0547752d8ee962951089c3b0b17bb9992e2a5 i386/devhelp-0.11-7.fc5.i386.rpm ee139d6591e82e4a9653e2d8c07d83c6108aa793 i386/devhelp-devel-0.11-7.fc5.i386.rpm 1db82ae33c625d53b1869dae24f9d35acf8120a7 i386/debug/devhelp-debuginfo-0.11-7.fc5.i386.rpm This update can be installed with the 'yum' update program.
