1. Topic:

Updated analog packages are available which fix a buffer
overflow vulnerability.

2. Relevant releases/architectures:

Red Hat Secure Web Server 2.0 – i386

3. Problem description:

Previous releases of analog were vulnerable to a buffer overflow
vulnerability where a malicious user could use an ALIAS command to
construct very long strings which were not checked for length.

This bug was discovered by the program author, and there is no
known exploit.

4. Solution:

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 directly *only* contains the desired
RPMs.

5. Bug IDs fixed ((http://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla
for more info):

6. RPMs required:

Red Hat Secure Web Server 2.0:

following command:
rpm –checksig –nogpg <filename>
