Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5 RHSA-2010:0565-01 Moderate: w3m Security Update

Updated w3m packages that fix one security issue are now available for Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5. The Red Hat Security Response Team has rated this update as having moderate security impact. A Common Vulnerability Scoring System (CVSS) base score,. -----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 ==================================================================== Red Hat Security Advisory Synopsis: Moderate: w3m security update Advisory ID: RHSA-2010:0565-01 Product: Red Hat Enterprise Linux Advisory URL: https://access.redhat.com/errata/RHSA-2010:0565.html Issue date: 2010-07-27 CVE Names: CVE-2010-2074 ==================================================================== 1. Summary: Updated w3m packages that fix one security issue are now available for Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5. The Red Hat Security Response Team has rated this update as having moderate security impact. A Common Vulnerability Scoring System (CVSS) base score, which gives a detailed severity rating, is available from the CVE link in the References section. 2. Relevant releases/architectures: Red Hat Enterprise Linux (v. 5 server) - i386, ia64, ppc, s390x, x86_64 Red Hat Enterprise Linux Desktop (v. 5 client) - i386, x86_64 3. Description: The w3m program is a pager (or text file viewer) that can also be used as a text mode web browser. It was discovered that w3m is affected by the previously published "null prefix attack", caused by incorrect handling of NULL characters in X.509 certificates. If an attacker is able to get a carefully-crafted certificate signed by a trusted Certificate Authority, the attacker could use the certificate during a man-in-the-middle attack and potentially confuse w3m into accepting it by mistake. (CVE-2010-2074) All w3m users should upgrade to these updated packages, which contain a backported patch to correct this issue. 4. Solution: Before applying this update, make sure all previously-released errata relevant to your system have beenapplied. This update is available via the Red Hat Network. Details on how to use the Red Hat Network to apply this update are available at 5. Bugs fixed (http://bugzilla.redhat.com/): 604855 - CVE-2010-2074 w3m: doesn't handle NULL in Common Name properly 6. Package List: Red Hat Enterprise Linux Desktop (v. 5 client): Source: i386: w3m-0.5.1-17.el5_5.i386.rpm w3m-debuginfo-0.5.1-17.el5_5.i386.rpm w3m-img-0.5.1-17.el5_5.i386.rpm x86_64: w3m-0.5.1-17.el5_5.x86_64.rpm w3m-debuginfo-0.5.1-17.el5_5.x86_64.rpm w3m-img-0.5.1-17.el5_5.x86_64.rpm Red Hat Enterprise Linux (v. 5 server): Source: i386: w3m-0.5.1-17.el5_5.i386.rpm w3m-debuginfo-0.5.1-17.el5_5.i386.rpm w3m-img-0.5.1-17.el5_5.i386.rpm ia64: w3m-0.5.1-17.el5_5.ia64.rpm w3m-debuginfo-0.5.1-17.el5_5.ia64.rpm w3m-img-0.5.1-17.el5_5.ia64.rpm ppc: w3m-0.5.1-17.el5_5.ppc.rpm w3m-debuginfo-0.5.1-17.el5_5.ppc.rpm w3m-img-0.5.1-17.el5_5.ppc.rpm s390x: w3m-0.5.1-17.el5_5.s390x.rpm w3m-debuginfo-0.5.1-17.el5_5.s390x.rpm w3m-img-0.5.1-17.el5_5.s390x.rpm x86_64: w3m-0.5.1-17.el5_5.x86_64.rpm w3m-debuginfo-0.5.1-17.el5_5.x86_64.rpm w3m-img-0.5.1-17.el5_5.x86_64.rpm These packages are GPG signed by Red Hat for security.
