1. Problem Summary(From the Red Hat, Inc. Security Advisory)
A buffer overflow exists in Netscape's HTML parsing code. By
using specially designed code, a remote website could cause
arbitrary code to be run on the local machine.
2. Solution
Update the package from our ftp server by running the following
command:
rpm -Uvh --nodeps --force ftp_path_to_filename
Where ftp_path_to_filename is the following:
ftp://ftp.turbolinux.com/pub/updates/6.0/security/netscape-communicator-4.76-5.i386.rpm
The source RPM can be downloaded here:
ftp://ftp.turbolinux.com/pub/updates/6.0/SRPMS/netscape-communicator-4.76-5.src.rpm
**Note: You must rebuild and install the RPM if you choose to
download and install the SRPM. Simply installing the SRPM alone
WILL NOT CLOSE THE SECURITY HOLE.
Please verify the MD5 checksums of the updates before you install:
MD5 sum Package Name
