- Updated Pan packages that close a denial of service vulnerability are now
- available.
-
- Pan is a Gnome/GTK+ newsreader.
-
- A bug in Pan versions prior to 0.13.4 can cause Pan to crash when parsing
- an article header containing a very long author email address. This bug
- causes a denial of service (crash), but cannot be exploited further. The
- Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures project (cve.mitre.org) has
- assigned the name CAN-2003-0855 to this issue.
-
- Users of Pan are advised to upgrade to these erratum packages, which
- contain a backported patch correcting this issue.
-
- Red Hat would like to thank Kasper Dupont for alerting us to this issue and
- to Charles Kerr for providing the patch.
