Fedora 9 Update: xterm-238-1.fc9
Summary
The xterm program is a terminal emulator for the X Window System. It
provides DEC VT102 and Tektronix 4014 compatible terminals for
programs that can't use the window system directly.
This update fixes the following security issue: CRLF injection vulnerability
in xterm allows user-assisted attackers to execute arbitrary commands via LF
(aka \n) characters surrounding a command name within a Device Control Request
Status String (DECRQSS) escape sequence in a text file, a related issue to
CVE-2003-0063 and CVE-2003-0071.
