Red Hat Security Advisory
Synopsis: Updated OpenOffice packages fix security vulnerability in neon 1. Topic: Updated OpenOffice packages that fix a vulnerability in neon exploitable by a malicious DAV server are now available. 2. Relevant releases/architectures: Red Hat Linux 9 - i386 3. Problem description: OpenOffice.org is an Open Source, community-developed, multi-platform office productivity suite. OpenOffice internally uses inbuilt code from neon, an HTTP and WebDAV client library. Versions of the neon client library up to and including 0.24.4 have been found to contain a number of format string bugs. An attacker could create a malicious WebDAV server in such a way as to allow arbitrary code execution on the client should a user connect to it using OpenOffice. The Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures project (cve.mitre.org/) has assigned the name CAN-2004-0179 to this issue. Users of OpenOffice are advised to upgrade to these updated packages, which contain a patch correcting this issue. 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 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. If up2date fails to connect to Red Hat Network due to SSL Certificate Errors, you need to install a version of the up2date client with an updated certificate. The latest version of up2date is available from the Red Hat FTP site and may also be downloaded directly from the RHN website: https://rhn.redhat.com/help/latest-up2date.pxt 5. RPMs required: Red Hat Linux 9:

Red Hat Security Advisory
Synopsis: Updated libpng packages fix crash
1. Topic:
Updated libpng packages that fix a out of bounds memory access are now
available.
2. Relevant releases/architectures:
Red Hat Linux 9 - i386
3. Problem description:
The libpng package contains a library of functions for creating and
manipulating PNG (Portable Network Graphics) image format files.
Steve Grubb discovered a out of bounds memory access flaw in libpng. An
attacker could carefully craft a PNG file in such a way that it would cause
an application linked to libpng to crash when opened by a victim. This
issue may not be used to execute arbitrary code.
Users are advised to upgrade to these updated packages that contain a
backported security fix not vulnerable to this issue.
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 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.
If up2date fails to connect to Red Hat Network due to SSL
Certificate Errors, you need to install a version of the
up2date client with an updated certificate. The latest version of
up2date is available from the Red Hat FTP site and may also be
downloaded directly from the RHN website:

Red Hat Security Advisory
Synopsis: Updated utempter package fixes vulnerability
1. Topic:
An updated utempter package that fixes a potential symlink vulnerability is
now available.
2. Relevant releases/architectures:
Red Hat Linux 9 - i386
3. Problem description:
Utempter is a utility that allows terminal applications such as xterm and
screen to update utmp and wtmp without requiring root privileges.
Steve Grubb discovered a flaw in Utempter which allowed device names
containing directory traversal sequences such as '/../'. In combination
with an application that trusts the utmp or wtmp files, this could allow a
local attacker the ability to overwrite privileged files using a symlink.
Users should upgrade to this new version of utempter, which fixes this
vulnerability.
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

people find this an easier way to apply updates. To use Red Hat Network,
launch the Red Hat Update Agent with the following command:

RPMs being upgraded on your system.
If up2date fails to connect to Red Hat Network due to SSL
Certificate Errors, you need to install a version of the
