Red Hat Security Advisory Synopsis: Updated namazu packages are available Advisory ID: RHSA-2001:179-05 Issue date: 2001-12-27 Updated on: 2002-01-09 Product: Red Hat Linux Keywords: namazu cross-site scripting buffer overflow Cross references: Obsoletes: RHSA-2001:162 - --------------------------------------------------------------------- 1. Topic: Updated namazu packages are available for Red Hat Linux 7.0J. These packages fix cross-site scripting vulnerabilities. It also fixes a possible buffer overflow. 2. Relevant releases/architectures: Red Hat Linux 7.0J - i386 3. Problem description: Namazu is a full-text search engine. Namazu 2.0.9 and earlier may inadvertently include malicious HTML tags or scripts in a dynamically generated page, based on unvalidated input from untrustworthy sources. Also, a buffer overflow vulnerability exists in the buffer size of an environment variable. These packages update Namazu to version 2.0.10 which is not vulnerable to these issues. 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. 5.
