Linux-Mandrake Security Update Advisory
________________________________________________________________________
Package name: netscape
Date: August 1st, 2000
Original Advisory Date: July 31st, 2000
Advisory ID: MDKSA-2000:027-1
Affected versions: 6.0, 6.1, 7.0, 7.1
________________________________________________________________________
Problem Description:
Previous versions of Netscape, from version 3.0 to 4.73 contain a
serious overflow flaw due to improper input verification in Netscape''s
JPEG processing code. The way Netscape processed JPEG comments trusted
the length parameter for comment fields. By manipulating this value,
it was possible to cause Netscape to read in an excessive amount of
data which would then overwrite memory. Data with a malicious design
could allow a remote site to execute arbitrary code as the user of
Netscape on the client system. It is highly recommended that everyone
using Netscape upgrade to this latest version that fixes the flaw.
Update:
The md5sums listed in the previous advisory are no longer valid. We
are using the same RPM packages for 6.0, 6.1, and 7.0 so the md5ums
have changed. The package for 7.1 has also been updated to incorporate
many of the enhancements used in Linux-Mandrake 7.1
________________________________________________________________________
Please verify these md5 checksums of the updates prior to upgrading to
ensure the integrity of the downloaded package. You can do this by
running the md5sum program on the downloaded package by using
"md5sum package.rpm".
