3. Description:

 

cscope is a mature, ncurses-based, C source-code tree browsing tool.

 

Multiple buffer overflow flaws were found in cscope. An attacker could

create a specially crafted source code file that could cause cscope to

crash or, possibly, execute arbitrary code when browsed with cscope.

(CVE-2004-2541, CVE-2006-4262, CVE-2009-0148, CVE-2009-1577)

 

All users of cscope are advised to upgrade to this updated package, which

contains backported patches to fix these issues. All running instances of

cscope must be restarted for this update to take effect.

 

4. Solution:

 

Before applying this update, make sure that all previously-released

errata relevant to your system have been applied.

 

This update is available via Red Hat Network. Details on how to use

the Red Hat Network to apply this update are available at
