Mandriva Advisories

Package name gtkhtml
Date September 18th, 2003
Advisory ID MDKSA-2003:093
Affected versions 9.0, CS2.1
Synopsis Updated gtkhtml packages fix vulnerability

Problem Description

Alan Cox discovered that certain malformed messages could cause the
Evolution mail component to crash due to a null pointer dereference in
the GtkHTML library, versions prior to 1.1.0.

The updated package provides a patched version of GtkHTML; versions of
Mandrake Linux more recent than 9.0 do not require this fix as they
already come with version 1.1.0.
