CESA-2007:0208: w3c-libwww security and bug fix update
Description
Updated w3c-libwww packages that fix a security issue and a bug are now available. This update has been rated as having low security impact by the CentOS Security Response Team.
w3c-libwww is a general-purpose web library. Several buffer overflow flaws in w3c-libwww were found. If a client application that uses w3c-libwww connected to a malicious HTTP server, it could trigger an out of bounds memory access, causing the client application to crash (CVE-2005-3183). This updated version of w3c-libwww also fixes an issue when computing MD5 sums on a 64 bit machine. Users of w3c-libwww should upgrade to these updated packages, which contain backported patches to correct these issues.
