-------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Fedora Update Notification FEDORA-2008-1435 2008-02-13 04:08:48 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Name : liferea Product : Fedora 7 Version : 1.4.9 Release : 2.fc7 URL : http://liferea.sourceforge.net/ Summary : An RSS/RDF feed reader Description : Liferea (Linux Feed Reader) is an RSS/RDF feed reader. It's intended to be a clone of the Windows-only FeedReader. It can be used to maintain a list of subscribed feeds, browse through their items, and show their contents. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Update Information: Mozilla Firefox is an open source Web browser. Several flaws were found in the way Firefox processed certain malformed web content. A webpage containing malicious content could cause Firefox to crash, or potentially execute arbitrary code as the user running Firefox. (CVE-2008-0412, CVE-2008-0413, CVE-2008-0415, CVE-2008-0419) Several flaws were found in the way Firefox displayed malformed web content. A webpage containing specially-crafted content could trick a user into surrendering sensitive information. (CVE-2008-0591, CVE-2008-0593) A flaw was found in the way Firefox stored password data. If a user saves login information for a malicious website, it could be possible to corrupt the password database, preventing the user from properly accessing saved password data. (CVE-2008-0417) A flaw was found in the way Firefox handles certain chrome URLs. If a user has certain extensions installed, it could allow a malicious website to steal sensitive session data. Note: this flaw does not affect a default installation of Firefox. (CVE-2008-0418) A flaw was found in the way Firefox saves certain text files. If a website offers a file of type "plain/text", rather than "text/plain", Firefox will not show future "text/plain" content to the user in the browser, forcing them to save those files locally to view the content. (CVE-2008-0592) Users of firefox are advised to upgrade to these updated packages, which contain updated packages to resolve these issues. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- ChangeLog: * Fri Feb 8 2008 Christopher Aillon <caillon@redhat.com> - 1.4.9-2 - Rebuild against newer gecko * Sun Dec 2 2007 Brian Pepple <bpepple@fedoraproject.org> - 1.4.9-1 - Update to 1.4.9. - Update feed patch. * Tue Nov 27 2007 Christopher Aillon <caillon@redhat.com> - 1.4.8-2 - Rebuild against newer gecko * Fri Nov 23 2007 Brian Pepple <bpepple@fedoraproject.org> - 1.4.8-1 - Update to 1.4.8. - fixes LD_LIBRARY_PATH security bug.
