TITLE:
Fedora update for boa

SECUNIA ADVISORY ID:
SA39775

VERIFY ADVISORY:
http://secunia.com/advisories/39775/

DESCRIPTION:
Fedora has issued an update for boa. This fixes a weakness, which can
be exploited by malicious people to manipulate certain data.

The weakness is caused due to terminal escape sequences received in
HTTP requests being logged. This can be exploited to pass control
characters to a terminal emulator when a user displays a log.

SOLUTION:
Apply updated packages via the yum utility ("yum update boa").
