Synopsis: Updated XEmacs packages available for Red Hat Linux 7
Advisory ID: RHSA-2001:010-06

1. Topic:
The XEmacs package as shipped with Red Hat Linux 7 has a
security problem with gnuserv and gnuclient.
2. Relevant releases/architectures:
Red Hat Linux 7.0 – alpha, i386
3. Problem description:
The XEmacs package as shipped with Red Hat Linux 7 has a
security problem with gnuserv and gnuclient, due to a buffer
overflow and weak security.
This update also fixes other minor problems in XEmacs and adds
MULE support.
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 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.
