Fedora 8 : centerim-4.22.4-1.fc8 (2008-2867)

medium Nessus Plugin ID 31747

Synopsis

The remote Fedora host is missing a security update.

Description

This update fixes the CVE-2008-1467 security issue by disabling the 'actions' configuration altogether. Furthermore the default web browser is no longer configurable in CenterIM. The links get open in the default web browser configured, using xdg-utils. This release adds support for new versions of Yahoo IM protocol. Unless you apply this update, you won't be able to use Yahoo IM after April 2nd 2008. Please note: To avoid compatibility and confidentiality problems with an undocumented protocol transported unencrypted over third-party controlled network, all users of Yahoo IM protocol are encouraged to switch to open and free alternatives, such as XMPP used in Jabber network.

Note that Tenable Network Security has extracted the preceding description block directly from the Fedora security advisory. Tenable has attempted to automatically clean and format it as much as possible without introducing additional issues.

Solution

Update the affected centerim package.
