Hello all,

The Terabithia RPM release of Xymon has been updated to 4.3.25.

In addition to the 4.3.25 fixes detailed in the release notes, the RPM
includes a fix for a separate, unrelated, buffer overflow issue which
could allow a remote user to crash the server, or potentially execute
arbitrary code by sending a specially crafted message.

This issue did not affect any normal release version of Xymon 4.3.x or below.


Thank you to Matt Vander Werf for his report, and his assistance in
validating its resolution.

All users are urged to upgrade to the latest RPM version, 4.3.25-1 or higher.


Regards,
-jc
