Check for the version of the neon package Detailed Explanation for this Vulnerability Assessment The remote host is missing the patch for the advisory FEDORA-2004-130 (neon). neon is an HTTP and WebDAV client library, with a C interface providing a high-level interface to HTTP and WebDAV methods along with a low-level interface for HTTP request handling. neon supports persistent connections, proxy servers, basic, digest and Kerberos authentication, and has complete SSL support. Update Information: Stefan Esser discovered a flaw in the neon library which permits a heap buffer overflow in a date parsing routine. A possible hacker could create a malicious WebDAV server in such a way as to permit arbitrary code execution on the client should a user connect to it using a neon-based application which uses the date parsing routines, such as cadaver. The Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures project (cve.mitre.org) has assigned the name CVE-2004-0398 to this issue. This update includes packages with a patch for this issue.
