-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 ________________________________________________________________________ OpenPKG Security Advisory The OpenPKG Project http://www.openpkg.org/security.html http://www.openpkg.org openpkg-securityat_private openpkgat_private OpenPKG-SA-2003.025 20-Mar-2003 ________________________________________________________________________ Package: mutt Vulnerability: buffer overflow in IMAP client OpenPKG Specific: no Affected Releases: Affected Packages: Corrected Packages: OpenPKG CURRENT <= mutt-1.4i-20030103 >= mutt-1.4.1i-20030320 OpenPKG 1.2 <= mutt-1.4i-1.2.0 >= mutt-1.4i-1.2.1 OpenPKG 1.1 <= mutt-1.4i-1.1.0 >= mutt-1.4i-1.1.1 Dependent Packages: none Description: According to a posting on Bugtraq [0], Edmund Grimley Evans fixed a buffer overflow which exists in the IMAP client code of the mail user agent Mutt [1]. The bug was found by Core Security Technologies [2]. Please check whether you are affected by running "<prefix>/bin/rpm -q mutt". If you have the "mutt" package installed and its version is affected (see above), we recommend that you immediately upgrade it (see Solution). [3][4] Solution: Select the updated source RPM appropriate for your OpenPKG release [5][6], fetch it from the OpenPKG FTP service [7][8] or a mirror location, verify its integrity [9], build a corresponding binary RPM from it [3] and update your OpenPKG installation by applying the binary RPM [4]. For the current release OpenPKG 1.2, perform the following operations to permanently fix the security problem (for other releases adjust accordingly). $ ftp ftp.openpkg.org ftp> bin ftp> cd release/1.2/UPD ftp> get mutt-1.4i-1.2.1.src.rpm ftp> bye $ <prefix>/bin/rpm -v --checksig mutt-1.4i-1.2.1.src.rpm $ <prefix>/bin/rpm --rebuild mutt-1.4i-1.2.1.src.rpm $ su - # <prefix>/bin/rpm -Fvh <prefix>/RPM/PKG/mutt-1.4i-1.2.1.*.rpm ________________________________________________________________________ References: [0] http://www.securityfocus.com/archive/1/315679 [1] http://www.mutt.org/ [2] http://www.corest.com/common/showdoc.php?idx=310&idxseccion=10 [3] http://www.openpkg.org/tutorial.html#regular-source [4] http://www.openpkg.org/tutorial.html#regular-binary [5] ftp://ftp.openpkg.org/release/1.1/UPD/mutt-1.4i-1.1.1.src.rpm [6] ftp://ftp.openpkg.org/release/1.2/UPD/mutt-1.4i-1.2.1.src.rpm [7] ftp://ftp.openpkg.org/release/1.1/UPD/ [8] ftp://ftp.openpkg.org/release/1.2/UPD/ [9] http://www.openpkg.org/security.html#signature ________________________________________________________________________ For security reasons, this advisory was digitally signed with the OpenPGP public key "OpenPKG <openpkgat_private>" (ID 63C4CB9F) of the OpenPKG project which you can find under the official URL http://www.openpkg.org/openpkg.pgp or on http://keyserver.pgp.com/.
