Test ID:1.3.6.1.4.1.25623.1.0.51046
Category:Red Hat Local Security Checks
Title:RedHat Security Advisory RHSA-2004:344
Summary:NOSUMMARY
Description:Description:

The remote host is missing updates announced in
advisory RHSA-2004:344.

The semi package includes a MIME library for GNU Emacs and XEmacs used by
the wl mail package.

Tatsuya Kinoshita discovered a vulnerability in flim, an emacs library
for working with Internet messages included in the semi package. Temporary
files were being created without taking adequate precautions, and therefore
a local user could potentially overwrite files with the privileges of the
user running emacs. The Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures project
(cve.mitre.org) has assigned the name CVE-2004-0422 to this issue.

Users of semi are advised to upgrade to these packages, which contain
a backported patch fixing this issue.
