"Updated pwlib packages that fix a security issue are now available for
Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5.

This update has been rated as having moderate security impact by the
Red Hat Security Response Team.

PWLib is a library used to support cross-platform applications.

In Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5, the Ekiga teleconferencing application
uses PWLib.

A memory management flaw was discovered in PWLib. An attacker could
use this flaw to crash an application, such as Ekiga, which is linked
with pwlib (CVE-2007-4897).

Users should upgrade to these updated packages which contain a
backported patch to correct this issue."
