Red Hat Security Advisory: : Updated Webalizer packages fix vulnerability
Notes
Topic
Updated Webalizer packages which fix an obscure buffer overflow bug in the
DNS resolver code are available for Red Hat Linux 7.2.
Details
The Webalizer is a Web server log file analysis program which produces
detailed usage reports in HTML format.
A buffer overflow in Webalizer versions prior to 2.01-10, when configured
to use reverse DNS lookups, may allow remote attackers to execute arbitrary
code by connecting to the monitored Web server from an IP address that
resolves to a long hostname.
Red Hat Linux 7.2 shipped with Webalizer 2.01-9 which is vulnerable to this
issue.
Users of webalizer on Red Hat Linux 7.2 are advised to upgrade to these
errata packages which contain Webalizer version 2.01-09 with backported
security and bug fix patches.

Only those\nRPMs which are currently installed will be updated. Those RPMs which are\nnot installed but included in the list will not be updated. Note that you\ncan also use wildcards (*.rpm) if your current directory *only* contains the\ndesired RPMs.\n\nPlease note that this update is also available via Red Hat Network. Many\npeople find this an easier way to apply updates. To use Red Hat Network,\nlaunch the Red Hat Update Agent with the following command:\n\nup2date\n\nThis will start an interactive process that will result in the appropriate\nRPMs being upgraded on your system.",
