Immunix OS Security Advisory
Packages updated: netscape
Affected products: Immunix OS 6.2, 7.0-beta, and 7.0
Bugs Fixed: immunix/1562
Date: April 14, 2001
Advisory ID: IMNX-2001-70-014-01
Author: Greg Kroah-Hartman <[email protected]>
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
Description:
Florian Wesch has found that Netscape versions prior to 4.77 are
vulnerable to a buffer overflow bug in the way Netscape handles gif
images (see http://www.securityfocus.com/archive/1/175060 for more
information.) Netscape has released new binary packages that fix this
problem.
Immunix 7.0 does not install the netscape packages by default but
provides them in the extras/unsupported directory so they do not need
to be upgraded unless they have been installed manually by the system
administrator.
