Red Hat Security Advisory: webalizer security update
Notes
Topic
Updated Webalizer packages are available for Red Hat Linux Advanced Server
2.1 which fix an obscure buffer overflow bug in the DNS resolver code.
[Updated 13 Jan 2003]
Added fixed packages for the Itanium (IA64) architecture.
[Updated 06 Feb 2003]
Added fixed packages for Advanced Workstation 2.1
Details
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.
Users of Webalizer are advised to upgrade to these errata packages which
contain Webalizer version 2.01-09 with backported security and bug fix patches.
