RedHat: Low: struts security update for Red Hat Application Server
Summary
Summary
Red Hat Application Server packages provide a J2EE Application Server and Web container as well as the underlying Java stack. A cross-site scripting flaw was found in the way Struts displays error pages. It may be possible for an attacker to construct a specially crafted URL which could fool a victim into believing they are viewing a trusted site. The Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures project assigned the name CVE-2005-3745 to this issue. Please note that this issue does not affect Struts running on Tomcat or JOnAS, which is our supported usage of Struts. All users of Red Hat Application Server should upgrade to these updated packages, which contain Struts version 1.2.8 which is not vulnerable to this issue.
Solution
Before applying this update, make sure all previously released errata
relevant to your system have been applied.
To update all RPMs for your particular architecture, run:
rpm -Fvh [filenames]
where [filenames] is a list of the RPMs you wish to upgrade. Only those
RPMs which are currently installed will be updated. Those RPMs which are
not installed but included in the list will not be updated. Note that you
can also use wildcards (*.rpm) if your current directory *only* contains the
desired RPMs.
Please note that this update is also available via Red Hat Network. Many
people find this an easier way to apply updates. To use Red Hat Network,
launch the Red Hat Update Agent with the following command:
up2date
This will start an interactive process that will result in the appropriate
RPMs being upgraded on your system.
