----------------------------------------------------------------------- Immunix OS Security Advisory Packages updated: netscape Affected products: Immunix OS 6.2, 7.0-beta, and 7.0 Bugs Fixed: immunix/1562 Date: April 14, 2001 Advisory ID: IMNX-2001-70-014-01 Author: Greg Kroah-Hartman <gregat_private> ----------------------------------------------------------------------- Description: Florian Wesch has found that Netscape versions prior to 4.77 are vulnerable to a buffer overflow bug in the way Netscape handles gif images (see http://www.securityfocus.com/archive/1/175060 for more information.) Netscape has released new binary packages that fix this problem. Immunix 7.0 does not install the netscape packages by default but provides them in the extras/unsupported directory so they do not need to be upgraded unless they have been installed manually by the system administrator.
