1. Topic:
Updated Red Hat Linux 7 packages fixing two security problems in licq are=
=20
available.
2. Relevant releases/architectures:
Red Hat Linux 7.0 - alpha, i386
3. Problem description:
licq as shipped with Red Hat Linux 7 is vulnerable to two security=20
problems:
An overrunnable buffer in its logging code, and an unguarded system()=20
call to execute an external browser when receiving an URL.
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.
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.
