Package name licq Date March 20th, 2001 Advisory ID MDKSA-2001:032 Affected versions 7.1, 7.2, CS1.0 Synopsis Updated licq packages fix URL parsing vulnerability

Problem Description

Versions of Licq prior to 1.0.3 have a vulnerability involving the way
Licq parses received URLs. The received URLs are passed to the web
browser without any sanity checking by using the system() function.
Because of the lack of checks on the URL, remote attackers can pipe
other commands with the sent URLs causing the client to unwillingly
execute arbitrary commands. The URL parsing code has been fixed in
the most recent 1.0.3 version.

Users of Linux-Mandrake 7.1 and Corporate Server 1.0.1 will have to
manually remove the licq-data package by using "rpm -e licq-data" prior
to upgrading.
