Fedora Legacy Update Advisory
Synopsis: Updated tcpdump resolves security vulnerabilities
Advisory ID: FLSA:1468
Issue date: 2004-09-29
Product: Red Hat Linux
Keywords: Security
Cross references: https://bugzilla.fedora.us/show_bug.cgi?id=3D1468
CVE Names: CAN-2004-0183, CAN-2004-0184
1. Topic:
Updated tcpdump packages that fix multiple security
vulnerabilities are now available.
2. Relevant releases/architectures:
Red Hat Linux 7.3 – i386
Red Hat Linux 9 – i386
3. Problem description:
Tcpdump is a command-line tool for monitoring network
traffic.
Tcpdump v3.8.1 and earlier versions contained multiple flaws in
the packet display functions for the ISAKMP protocol. Upon
receiving specially crafted ISAKMP packets, tcpdump would try to
read beyond the end of the packet capture buffer and subsequently
crash.
All users are advised to upgrade to these updated packages,
which contain a backported fix and are 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 yum and apt.
Many people find this an easier way to apply updates. To use yum
issue:
yum update
or to use apt:
apt-get update; apt-get upgrade
This will start an interactive process that will result in the
appropriate RPMs being upgraded on your system. This assumes that
you have yum or apt-get configured for obtaining Fedora Legacy
content. Please visit http://www.fedoralegacy.org/docs/
for directions on how to configure yum and apt-get.

Fedora Legacy Update Advisory
Synopsis: Updated cadaver resolves security vulnerabilities
Advisory ID: FLSA:1552
Issue date: 2004-09-29
Product: Red Hat Linux
Keywords: Security
Cross references: https://bugzilla.fedora.us/show_bug.cgi?id=3D1552
CVE Names: CAN-2004-0179, CAN-2004-0398
1. Topic:
Updated cadaver packages that fix multiple security
vulnerability are now available.
2. Relevant releases/architectures:
Red Hat Linux 7.3 – i386
Red Hat Linux 9 – i386
3. Problem description:
An updated cadaver package that fixes a vulnerability in neon
exploitable by a malicious DAV server is now available.
cadaver is a command-line WebDAV client that 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 cadaver. The Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures
project (cve.mitre.org/) has
assigned the name CAN-2004-0179 to this issue. This issue was
addressed in a previous update for Red Hat Linux 9.
Stefan Esser discovered a flaw in the neon library which allows
a heap buffer overflow in a date parsing routine. 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 cadaver. The Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures project
(cve.mitre.org/) has assigned
the name CAN-2004-0398 to this issue.
Users of cadaver are advised to upgrade to this updated package,
which contains patches correcting these issues.

Before applying this update, make sure all previously released
errata relevant to your system have been applied.
