RH

Security Advisory - RHSA-2002:192-13
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Summary:
Updated Mozilla packages fix security vulnerabilities

Updated Mozilla packages are now available for Red Hat Linux. These new packages fix vulnerabilities in previous versions of Mozilla.

Description:
Mozilla is an open source web browser. Versions of Mozilla previous to version 1.0.1 contain various security vulnerabilities. These vulnerabilities could be used by an attacker to read data off of the local hard drive, to gain information that should normally be kept private, and in some cases to execute arbitrary code. For more information on the specific vulnerabilities fixed please see the references below.

All users of Mozilla should update to these errata packages containing Mozilla version 1.0.1 which is not vulnerable to these issues.
