Synopsis:          GNOME VFS updates address extfs vulnerability
Advisory ID:       RHSA-2004:373-01
Issue date:        2004-08-04
Updated on:        2004-08-04
Product:           Red Hat Enterprise Linux
Keywords:          gnome-vfs gnome-vfs2 extfs
CVE Names:         CAN-2004-0494
- ---------------------------------------------------------------------

1. Summary:

Updated GNOME VFS packages that remove potential extfs-related
vulnerabilities are now available.

2. Relevant releases/architectures:

3. Problem description:

GNOME VFS is the GNOME virtual file system. It provides a modular
architecture and ships with several modules that implement support for file
systems, HTTP, FTP, and others.  The extfs backends make it possible to
implement file systems for GNOME VFS using scripts.

Flaws have been found in several of the GNOME VFS extfs backend scripts. 
Red Hat Enterprise Linux ships with vulnerable scripts, but they are not
used by default.  An attacker who is able to influence a user to open a
specially-crafted URI using gnome-vfs could perform actions as that user.
The Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures project (cve.mitre.org) has
assigned the name CAN-2004-0494 to this issue.

Users of Red Hat Enterprise Linux should upgrade to these updated packages,
which remove these unused scripts.

4. Solution:

Before applying this update, make sure that all previously-released
errata relevant to your system have been applied.  Use Red Hat
Network to download and update your packages.  To launch the Red Hat
Update Agent, use the following command:

    up2date

following Web page for the System Administration or Customization
guide specific to your system:
