Updated gaim packages are now available for Red Hat Powertools 7.These updates fix a buffer overflow in the Jabber plug-in module.. ` --------------------------------------------------------------------- Red Hat, Inc. Red Hat Security Advisory Synopsis: Updated gaim client fixes Jabber plug-in vulnerability (Powertools) Advisory ID: RHSA-2002:107-11 Issue date: 2002-06-04 Updated on: 2002-08-05 Product: Red Hat Powertools Keywords: gaim jabber irc Cross references: RHSA-2002:098 Obsoletes: CVE Names: CAN-2002-0384 --------------------------------------------------------------------- 1. Topic: Updated gaim packages are now available for Red Hat Powertools 7. These updates fix a buffer overflow in the Jabber plug-in module. 2. Relevant releases/architectures: Red Hat Powertools 7.0 - alpha, i386 3. Problem description: Gaim is an instant messaging client written in GTK and is based on the published TOC messaging protocol from AOL. Versions of gaim prior to 0.58 contained a buffer overflow in the Jabber plug-in module. Users of gaim should update to these errata packages containing gaim 0.59 which is not vulnerable to this issue. Please note that gaim version 0.57 had an additional security problem which has been fixed in version 0.58 (CAN-2002-0377), however Red Hat Powertools did not ship with version 0.57 and was not vulnerable to this issue. 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 HatNetwork. 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.
