Synopsis

Moderate: cscope security update

Type/Severity

Security Advisory: Moderate

Topic

An updated cscope package that fixes multiple security issues is now
available for Red Hat Enterprise Linux 3 and 4.

This update has been rated as having moderate security impact by the Red
Hat Security Response Team.

Description

cscope is a mature, ncurses-based, C source-code tree browsing tool.

Multiple buffer overflow flaws were found in cscope. An attacker could
create a specially crafted source code file that could cause cscope to
crash or, possibly, execute arbitrary code when browsed with cscope.
(CVE-2004-2541, CVE-2006-4262, CVE-2009-0148, CVE-2009-1577)

All users of cscope are advised to upgrade to this updated package, which
contains backported patches to fix these issues. All running instances of
cscope must be restarted for this update to take effect.

Solution

Before applying this update, make sure that all previously-released
errata relevant to your system have been applied.

This update is available via Red Hat Network. Details on how to use
