|
|
SecurityTracker Alert ID: 1013157 |
|
SecurityTracker URL: http://securitytracker.com/id/1013157
|
|
CVE Reference:
CAN-2005-0100
(Links to External Site)
|
Date: Feb 11 2005
|
Impact:
Execution of arbitrary code via network, User access via network
|
Fix Available: Yes Vendor Confirmed: Yes
|
Version(s): prior to 21.4.17
|
Description:
A vulnerability was reported in Emacs in the 'movemail' utility. A remote user may be able to execute arbitrary code on the target system.
The vendor reported that a remote POP3 mail server can send a specially crafted response to a connected movemail client to trigger a format string flaw and execute arbitrary code on the target client. The code will execute with the privileges of the movemail process. On some systems, movemail is configured with set group id (setgid) 'mail' group privileges.
The flaw resides in 'movemail.c'.
Max Vozeler is credited with discovering this flaw.
|
Impact:
A remote POP3 server can execute arbitrary code on a connected client with the privileges of the movemail process.
|
Solution:
Red Hat has released a fix.

3. Problem description:
XEmacs is a powerful, customizable, self-documenting, modeless text editor.
Max Vozeler discovered several format string vulnerabilities in the
movemail utility of XEmacs. If a user connects to a malicious POP server, an
attacker can execute arbitrary code as the user running xemacs. The Common
Vulnerabilities and Exposures project (cve.mitre.org) has assigned the name
CAN-2005-0100 to this issue.
Users of XEmacs are advised to upgrade to these updated packages, which
contain backported patches to correct this issue.
4. Solution:
Before applying this update, make sure that all previously-released
errata relevant to your system have been applied. Use Red Hat
Network to download and update your packages. To launch the Red Hat
Update Agent, use the following command:
up2date
For information on how to install packages manually, refer to the
following Web page for the System Administration or Customization
guide specific to your system:
http://www.redhat.com/docs/manuals/enterprise/
