1. Topic:
Updated NetPBM packages are available that fix a number of
temporary file vulnerabilities in the netpbm libraries.
2. Relevant releases/architectures:
Red Hat Linux 9 – i386
3. Problem description:
The netpbm package contains a library of functions that support
programs for handling various graphics file formats, including .pbm
(portable bitmaps), .pgm (portable graymaps), .pnm (portable
anymaps), .ppm (portable pixmaps), and others.
A number of temporary file bugs have been found in versions of
NetPBM. These could allow a local user the ability to overwrite or
create files as a different user who happens to run one of the the
vulnerable utilities. The Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures
project (cve.mitre.org/) has
assigned the name CAN-2003-0924 to this issue.
Users are advised to upgrade to the erratum packages, which
contain patches from Debian that correct these bugs.
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

You can verify each package with the following command:
rpm –checksig -v <filename>
If you only wish to verify that each package has not been
corrupted or tampered with, examine only the md5sum with the
following command:
md5sum <filename>
