Check for the version of the lha package Detailed Explanation for this Vulnerability Assessment The remote host is missing the patch for the advisory FEDORA-2004-119 (lha). LHA is an archiving and compression utility for LHarc format archives. LHA is mostly used in the DOS world, but can be used under Linux to extract DOS files from LHA archives. Install the lha package if you need to extract DOS files from LHA archives. Update Information: Ulf Härnhammar discovered two stack buffer overflows and two directory traversal flaws in LHA. A possible hacker could exploit the buffer overflows by creating a carefully crafted LHA archive in such a way that arbitrary code would be executed when the archive is tested or extracted by a victim. CVE-2004-0234. A possible hacker could exploit the directory traversal issues to create files as the victim outside of the expected directory. CVE-2004-0235.
