Red Hat Security Advisory Synopsis: Updated Mozilla packages fix a security issue Advisory ID: RHSA-2002:079-13 Issue date: 2002-05-01 Updated on: 2002-05-13 Product: Red Hat Linux Keywords: mozilla xml http javascript xmlhttprequest Cross references: Obsoletes: --------------------------------------------------------------------- 1. Topic: Updated packages are available which fix a security issue in Mozilla. 2. Relevant releases/architectures: Red Hat Linux 7.2 - i386 Red Hat Linux 7.3 - i386 3. Problem description: One component of the XML Extras package in Mozilla 0.9.9 and earlier allows remote attackers to read arbitrary files and list directories on a client system. This exploit is performed by opening a URL that redirects the browser to the file on the client and reading the results using the responseText property. The Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures project (cve.mitre.org) has assigned the name CAN-2002-0354 to this issue. Users of Mozilla are advised to upgrade to these errata packages which have been patched and are not vulnerable to this issue. 4. Solution: Before applying this update, make sure all previously released errata relevant to your system have been applied. 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. 5.
