Fedora Legacy Update Advisory
Synopsis: Updated flim resolves security vulnerabilities
Advisory ID: FLSA:1581
Issue date: 2004-09-30
Product: Red Hat Linux
Keywords: Security
Cross references: https://bugzilla.fedora.us/show_bug.cgi?id=1581
CVE Names: CAN-2004-0422
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
1. Topic:
Updated flim packages that fix a security vulnerability are now available.
2. Relevant releases/architectures:
Red Hat Linux 7.3 - i386
Red Hat Linux 9 - i386
3. Problem description:
The flim package includes a MIME library for GNU Emacs and XEmacs used by the wl mail package.
Tatsuya Kinoshita discovered a vulnerability in flim, an emacs library for working with Internet messages. Temporary files were being created without taking adequate precautions, and therefore a local user could potentially overwrite files with the privileges of the user running emacs. The Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures project (cve.mitre.org) has assigned the name CAN-2004-0422 to this issue.
Users of flim are advised to upgrade to this updated package, which contains patches correcting these issues.
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 yum and apt. Many people find this an easier way to apply updates. To use yum issue:
yum update
or to use apt:
apt-get update; apt-get upgrade
This will start an interactive process that will result in the appropriate RPMs being upgraded on your system. This assumes that you have yum or apt-get configured for obtaining Fedora Legacy content. Please visit http://www.fedoralegacy.org/docs/ for directions on how to configure yum and apt-get.
