Description: Red Hat has reported a vulnerability in GtkHTML, which can be exploited by malicious people to cause a DoS (Denial of Service) on Evolution. The vulnerability is caused due to a NULL pointer dereference bug when handling certain HTML documents. This can be exploited by sending a specially crafted HTML document to a user, which causes the Evolution mail component to crash. Solution: Updated packages: -- Red Hat Linux 7.3 -- SRPMS: ftp://updates.redhat.com/7.3/en/os/SRPMS/gtkhtml-1.0.2-1.1.src.rpm i386: ftp://updates.redhat.com/7.3/en/os/i386/gtkhtml-1.0.2-1.1.i386.rpm ftp://updates.redhat.com/7.3/en/os/i386/gtkhtml-devel-1.0.2-1.1.i386.rpm -- Red Hat Linux 8.0 -- SRPMS: ftp://updates.redhat.com/8.0/en/os/SRPMS/gtkhtml-1.0.4-3.1.src.rpm i386: ftp://updates.redhat.com/8.0/en/os/i386/gtkhtml-1.0.4-3.1.i386.rpm ftp://updates.redhat.com/8.0/en/os/i386/gtkhtml-devel-1.0.4-3.1.i386.rpm -- Red Hat Linux 9 -- SRPMS: ftp://updates.redhat.com/9/en/os/SRPMS/gtkhtml-1.1.9-0.9.1.src.rpm i386: ftp://updates.redhat.com/9/en/os/i386/gtkhtml-1.1.9-0.9.1.i386.rpm ftp://updates.redhat.com/9/en/os/i386/gtkhtml-devel-1.1.9-0.9.1.i386.rpm Provided and/or discovered by: Alan Cox Original Advisory: http://rhn.redhat.com/errata/RHSA-2003-264.html
