Synopsis :

The remote Red Hat host is missing one or more security updates.

Description :

Updated XEmacs packages that fix a string format issue are now
available.

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 CVE-2005-0100 to this issue.

Users of XEmacs are advised to upgrade to these updated packages,
which contain backported patches to correct this issue.
