Red Hat alert RHSA-2003:372-01 (wget)
-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 - --------------------------------------------------------------------- Red Hat Security Advisory Synopsis: Updated wget packages include fix for buffer overrun Advisory ID: RHSA-2003:372-01 Issue date: 2003-12-10 Updated on: 2003-12-10 Product: Red Hat Enterprise Linux Keywords: wget Cross references: Obsoletes: CVE Names: CAN-2002-1565 - --------------------------------------------------------------------- 1. Topic: Updated wget packages that correct a buffer overrun are 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 ES version 2.1 - i386 Red Hat Enterprise Linux WS version 2.1 - i386 3. Problem description: GNU Wget is a file-retrieval utility that uses the HTTP and FTP protocols. A buffer overflow in the url_filename function for wget 1.8.1 allows attackers to cause a segmentation fault via a long URL. Red Hat does not believe that this issue is exploitable to allow an attacker to be able to run arbitrary code. The Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures project (cve.mitre.org) has assigned the name CAN-2002-1565 to this issue. Users of wget should install the erratum package, which contains a backported security patch and is not vulnerable to this issue. 4. Solution: Before applying this update, make sure all previously released errata relevant to your system have been applied. 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. If up2date fails to connect to Red Hat Network due to SSL Certificate Errors, you need to install a version of the up2date client with an updated certificate. The latest version of up2date is available from the Red Hat FTP site and may also be downloaded directly from the RHN website: https://rhn.redhat.com/help/latest-up2date.pxt 5.
