   The security bulletins digest has been split into multiple digests
   based on the operating system (HP-UX, MPE/iX, and HP Secure OS
   Software for Linux). You will continue to receive all security
   bulletin digests unless you choose to update your subscriptions.
   
   To update your subscriptions, use your browser to access the
   IT Resource Center on the World Wide Web at:

     http://www.itresourcecenter.hp.com/

   Under the Maintenance and Support Menu, click on the "more..." link.

    HEWLETT-PACKARD COMPANY SECURITY ADVISORY: #046
    Originally issued: 05 June '02
---------------------------------------------------------------

The information in the following Security Advisory should be acted
upon as soon as possible. Hewlett-Packard Company will not be
liable for any consequences to any customer resulting from the
customer's failure to fully implement instructions in this Security
Advisory as soon as possible.

Because the vulnerability does not require a Hewlett-Packard Secure OS
1.0 patch or re-packaging of the RPM affected by the advisory, the
RPMs have not been produced or tested by Hewlett-Packard.

---------------------------------------------------------------
PROBLEM: Security vulnerability in xchat

PLATFORM: Any system running HP Secure OS software for Linux Release 1.0

DAMAGE: Potential execution of arbitrary commands

SOLUTION: Apply the appropriate RPMs (see section B below)

MANUAL ACTIONS: None

AVAILABILITY: The RPMs are available now.
 ---------------------------------------------------------------
 A. Background
 
    X-Chat is an IRC client for the X Window System and GTK+. A security
    issue in XChat allows a malicious server to execute arbitrary commands.

 B. Fixing the problem

    Hewlett-Packard Company recommends that customers who have installed
    xchat, download the RPMs listed in the following Red Hat Security
    Advisory:

    2002-06-04 RHSA-2002:097 Updated xchat packages fix /dns vulnerability

    http://rhn.redhat.com/errata/RHSA-2002-097.html

    To install the security advisory RPMs, use the following sequence
    of commands:

    1. If you use the tripwire product, we recommend that you run a
       a consistency check and fix any violations before installing
       the security advisory RPM.

           tripwire --check --interactive

    2. Install the advisory RPM from the root account.

           rpm -F <advisory RPM name>

    3. Update the tripwire database

           tripwire --check --interactive

    NOTE:
    The rpm -q <package name> command can be used to determine if the
    package is installed. Hewlett-Packard recommends applying the
    security advisory fixes to installed packages only. The -F option
    to the RPM installer will only apply the fix if the package is
    currently installed on the system. Dependent RPMs can be found by
    using the "Find Latest RPMs" search facility at
    http://www.redhat.com/apps/download. To find the latest dependent
    RPM enter the RPM's name in the "By Keyword" box.
