Product     : Fedora 8
Version     : 238
Release     : 1.fc8
URL         : Summary     : Terminal emulator for the X Window System
Description :
The xterm program is a terminal emulator for the X Window System. It
provides DEC VT102 and Tektronix 4014 compatible terminals for
programs that can't use the window system directly.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------Update Information:

This update fixes the following security issue:    CRLF injection vulnerability
in xterm allows user-assisted attackers to execute arbitrary commands via LF
(aka \n) characters surrounding a command name within a Device Control Request
Status String (DECRQSS) escape sequence in a text file, a related issue to
CVE-2003-0063 and CVE-2003-0071.
