Updated Mozilla packages fix security vulnerability.

Updated Mozilla packages fixing various bugs and security issues are now
available.

[Updated 18 July 2003]
Our Mozilla packages were found to be incompatible with Galeon. Updated
versions of Galeon are now included for Red Hat Linux 7.2, 7.3, and 8.0.
In addition new builds of Mozilla for Red Hat Linux 8.0 are included as the
previous packages were built with the wrong compiler.

[Updated 31 July 2003]
Added packages for Red Hat Linux on IBM iSeries and pSeries systems.

Mozilla is an open source Web browser.

A heap-based buffer overflow in Netscape and Mozilla allows remote
attackers to execute arbitrary code via a jar: URL referencing a
malformed .jar file, which overflows a buffer during decompression. This
issue affects versions Mozilla packages for Red Hat Linux 7.1, 7.2, 7.3,
and 8.0.

These errata packages upgrade Mozilla to version 1.0.2, which is not
vulnerable to this issue. Mozilla 1.0.2 also contains a number of other
stability and security enhancements.

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.
