The remote host is missing updates announced in
advisory FLSA-2004:1552.
An updated cadaver package that fixes a vulnerability in neon exploitable
by a malicious DAV server is now available.
cadaver is a command-line WebDAV client that uses inbuilt code from neon,
an HTTP and WebDAV client library.
Versions of the neon client library up to and including 0.24.4 have been
found to contain a number of format string bugs. An attacker could create
a malicious WebDAV server in such a way as to allow arbitrary code
execution on the client should a user connect to it using cadaver. The
Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures project (cve.mitre.org) has assigned
the name CVE-2004-0179 to this issue. This issue was addressed in a previous
update for Red Hat Linux 9.
Stefan Esser discovered a flaw in the neon library which allows a heap
buffer overflow in a date parsing routine. An attacker could create
a malicious WebDAV server in such a way as to allow arbitrary code
execution on the client should a user connect to it using cadaver. The
Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures project (cve.mitre.org) has assigned
the name CVE-2004-0398 to this issue.
Users of cadaver are advised to upgrade to this updated package, which
contains patches correcting these issues.
