Updated Netscape 4.8 packages fixing various bugs and vulnerabilities arenow available.. ` --------------------------------------------------------------------- Red Hat Security Advisory Synopsis: Updated Netscape packages are now available Advisory ID: RHSA-2003:026-01 Issue date: 2003-06-20 Updated on: 2003-06-20 Product: Red Hat Linux Keywords: netscape shockwave flash Cross references: Obsoletes: RHSA-2001:046 CVE Names: CVE-2002-0846 CAN-2002-1467 --------------------------------------------------------------------- 1. Topic: Updated Netscape 4.8 packages fixing various bugs and vulnerabilities are now available. 2. Relevant releases/architectures: Red Hat Linux 7.1 - i386 Red Hat Linux 7.2 - i386, ia64 Red Hat Linux 7.3 - i386 3. Problem description: Netscape is a suite of Internet utilities including a Web browser, email client, and Usenet news reader. Netscape version 4.8 contains various bugfixes and updates. Note that Macromedia Flash is no longer included as of this update. The recommended Macromedia Flash with security fixes no longer supports Netscape 4.x. The security issues that affected the Macromedia Flash player include CVE-2002-0846 and CAN-2002-1467. It is recommended that all Netscape Communicator and Netscape Navigator users upgrade to these errata packages. 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. Touse 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. Bug IDs fixed ( for more info): 62052 - Does the netscape libflashplugin.so use an insecure zlib ?? 65862 - A problem for the zh_CN.GB2312 locale 71341 - Lots of security holes in flash plugin 6.
