Red Hat Linux 6.0 RHSA-1999:035-02 Moderate: XFree86 Security Fix

red hat
Calendar Grey December 7, 1999
Dist Redhat Esm H88
XFree86 4.0.1 updates address vulnerabilities in SuSE Linux 5.3, 6.1, and 6.2 for all system architectures.
New XFree86 packages are available for Red Hat Linux 4.2, 5.2, and 6.0 on all architectures

Solution



For each RPM for your particular architecture, run:


rpm -Uvh filename


where filename is the name of the RPM. In some circumstances, you may be required to add --force and/or --nodeps to the rpm command line options to insure a proper upgrade. Add these options if the command line given gives an error. You should upgrade at least the core XFree86 package, the font server (xfs) package, the libraries, and the server for your video card.

If you download all of the XFree86 updates into a directory and then execute the command:

rpm -UvhF *.rpm

only the RPMs that you already have installed will be upgraded.

More detailed instructions on installing XFree86 are available from:

9. Verification:


 MD5 sum                           Package Name

These packages are also PGP signed by Red Hat Inc. for security. Our

key is available at:





You can verify each package with the following command:


rpm --checksig filename


If you only wish to verify that each package has not been corrupted or

tampered with, examine only the md5sum with the following command:


rpm --checksig --nopgp filename
