URL parser may accept malformed IPv6 addresses

published 6 months ago
Summary

A function that reads web addresses does not fully check IPv6 host parts, so it can treat some incorrect URLs as valid. This could cause applications to misroute traffic or expose them to unexpected input. Update the software to a version that fixes the parsing logic or apply the vendor's recommended patch.

What to do
  • Update redhat rhc to version 1:0.2.4-7.el9_4.
  • Update redhat rhc-debuginfo to version 1:0.2.4-7.el9_4.
  • Update redhat rhc-debugsource to version 1:0.2.4-7.el9_4.
  • Update redhat rhc-devel to version 1:0.2.4-7.el9_4.
