-------------------------------------

   Linux-Mandrake Security Update

-------------------------------------

Package: cdrecord

Affected versions: 6.1 7.0

Problem: The linux cdrecord binary is vulnerable to a locally
exploitable buffer overflow attack. When installed on a Linux-Mandrake
distribution, it is by default setgid "cdburner" (which is a group,
gid: 80, that is created for the application). The overflow condition
is the result of no bounds checking on the 'dev=' argument passed to
cdburner at execution time. This vulnerability can be exploited to
execute arbitrary commands with the gid "cdburner".

Mandrake 7.0, look for it in: updates/7.0/RPMS/

Note: we give the md5 sum for each package. It lets you check the
integrity of the downloaded package by running the md5sum command on
the package ("md5sum package.rpm").
