Description Josh Bressers 2006-12-06 22:29:42 UTC 
It has recently come to our attention that CVE-2000-1191 is not fixed in the
htdig packages shipped with Red Hat Enterprise Linux 2.1 and 3.  This flaw is
fixed in Red Hat Enterprise Linux 4 by the htdig-3.2.0b6-unescaped_output.patch
patch file.

More details regarding this flaw are available here:

To quote that page (in the event the URL becomes invalid someday)

    Exploit:
    When requesting a URL such as:
    http://www.example.com/cgi-bin/htsearch?config=aaa

    The htDig engine will reply with an error saying that it could not find the   
    configuration file 'aaa', but the error string includes the full directory  
    path of the configuration file.
