Updated Mozilla packages fix a security issue

Advisory:	RHSA-2002:079-13
Type:	Security Advisory
Severity:	N/A
Issued on:	2002-05-01
Last updated on:	2002-05-13
Affected Products:	Red Hat Linux 7.2 Red Hat Linux 7.3
OVAL:	N/A
CVEs (cve.mitre.org):	CVE-2002-0354

Details

Updated packages are available which fix a security issue in Mozilla.

One component of the XML Extras package in Mozilla 0.9.9 and
earlier allows remote attackers to read arbitrary files and list
directories on a client system. This exploit is performed by opening a
URL
that redirects the browser to the file on the client and reading the
results using the responseText property.

The Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures project (cve.mitre.org) has
assigned the name CAN-2002-0354 to this issue.

Users of Mozilla are advised to upgrade to these errata packages which
have
been patched and are not vulnerable to this issue.

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. 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.
