NASL family Red Hat Local Security Checks NASL id REDHAT-RHSA-2004-585.NASL description An updated xchat package that fixes a stack-based buffer overflow in the SOCKSv5 proxy code. X-Chat is a graphical IRC chat client for the X Window System. A stack-based buffer overflow has been fixed in the SOCKSv5 proxy code. An attacker could create a malicious SOCKSv5 proxy server in such a way that X-Chat would execute arbitrary code if a victim configured X-Chat to use the proxy. The Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures project (cve.mitre.org) has assigned the name CVE-2004-0409 to this issue. Users of X-Chat should upgrade to this erratum package, which contains a backported security patch, and is not vulnerable to this issue. last seen 2020-06-01 modified 2020-06-02 plugin id 15633 published 2004-11-04 reporter This script is Copyright (C) 2004-2019 and is owned by Tenable, Inc. or an Affiliate thereof. source https://www.tenable.com/plugins/nessus/15633 title RHEL 2.1 / 3 : xchat (RHSA-2004:585) code #%NASL_MIN_LEVEL 80502 # # (C) Tenable Network Security, Inc. # # The descriptive text and package checks in this plugin were # extracted from Red Hat Security Advisory RHSA-2004:585.
