Type: Security Advisory
Severity: Low
Issued on: 2003-04-28
Last updated on: 2003-04-28
Affected Products: Red Hat Enterprise Linux AS (v. 2.1)
Red Hat Enterprise Linux ES (v. 2.1)

Details

Updated mICQ packages are available which fix a remote crash.

mICQ is an online messaging and conferencing program.

mICQ 0.4.9 and earlier allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service
(crash) via malformed ICQ message types without a 0xFE separator character.

Users of mICQ are advised to upgrade to these erratum packages containing
mICQ version 0.4.10.2 which is 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.
