Updated gtkhtml packages fix vulnerability
   Advisory: RHSA-2003:264-11
   Last updated on: 2003-09-09
   Affected Products: Red Hat Linux 7.3
   Red Hat Linux 8.0
   Red Hat Linux 9
   CVEs (cve.mitre.org): CAN-2003-0541


   Details:

   Updated gtkhtml packages that fix a null pointer dereference are now available.

   GtkHTML is the HTML rendering widget used by the Evolution mail reader.
   Versions of GtkHTML prior to 1.1.10 contain a bug when handling HTML
   messages. Alan Cox discovered that certain malformed messages could cause
   the Evolution mail component to crash due to a null pointer dereference in
   the GtkHTML library. The Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures project
   (cve.mitre.org) has assigned the name CAN-2003-0541 to this issue.
   Users of Evolution are advised to upgrade to these erratum packages, which
   contain GtkHTML version 1.1.10 correcting this issue.
   Red Hat would like to thank the Ximian security team for investigating and
   fixing this issue.

   Updated packages:
   Red Hat Linux 7.3

   Solution

   Before applying this update, make sure all previously released errata
   relevant to your system have been applied.
   To update all RPMs for your particular architecture, run:
   rpm -Fvh [filenames]
   where [filenames] is a list of the RPMs you wish to upgrade. Only those
   RPMs which are currently installed will be updated. Those RPMs which are
   not installed but included in the list will not be updated. Note that you
   can also use wildcards (*.rpm) if your current directory *only* contains the
   desired RPMs.
   Please note that this update is also available via Red Hat Network. Many
   people find this an easier way to apply updates. To use Red Hat Network,
   launch the Red Hat Update Agent with the following command:
   up2date
   This will start an interactive process that will result in the appropriate
   RPMs being upgraded on your system.
   If up2date fails to connect to Red Hat Network due to SSL Certificate
   Errors, you need to install a version of the up2date client with an updated
   certificate. The latest version of up2date is available from the Red Hat
   FTP site and may also be downloaded directly from the RHN website:
