Mandrake Linux Security Advisory : xemacs (MDKSA-2001:019)

critical Nessus Plugin ID 61893

Language:

Synopsis

The remote Mandrake Linux host is missing one or more security updates.

Description

Previous versions of XEmacs had a problem with the gnuserv application. Versions prior to 21.1.14 could allow arbitrary code to be executed by overrunning the magic cookie buffer, as well as accepting the prefix of valid magic cookies (i.e. '12' is accepted if the cookie is '12345678').

Solution

Update the affected packages.
