Subject: [Security Announce] MDKSA-2000:042 - mgetty update
-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE-----
Hash: SHA1
________________________________________________________________________
Linux-Mandrake Security Update Advisory
________________________________________________________________________
Package name: mgetty
Date: August 31st, 2000
Advisory ID: MDKSA-2000:042
Affected versions: 6.0, 6.1, 7.0, 7.1
________________________________________________________________________
Problem Description:
There is a problem in the mgetty package, which contains a number of
tools for sending and receiving faxes. The faxrunq tool uses a
marker file in the /tmp directory, which is world-writable, in an
insecure fashion. This problem, if exploited, allows malicious users
to overwrite files on the system via a symlink attack which are owned
by the user that is invoking faxrunq. All versions of mgetty prior to
1.1.22 are vulnerable.
________________________________________________________________________
Please verify these md5 checksums of the updates prior to upgrading to
ensure the integrity of the downloaded package. You can do this by
running the md5sum program on the downloaded package by using
"md5sum package.rpm".

To upgrade automatically, use « MandrakeUpdate ».
If you want to upgrade manually, download the updated package from one
of our FTP server mirrors and uprade with "rpm -Uvh package_name".
You can download the updates directly from:
ftp://ftp.linux.tucows.com/pub/distributions/Mandrake/Mandrake/updates
ftp://ftp.free.fr/pub/Distributions_Linux/Mandrake/updates
Or try one of the other mirrors listed at:
http://www.linux-mandrake.com/en/ftp.php3.
Updated packages are available in the "updates/[ver]/RPMS/" directory.
For example, if you are looking for an updated RPM package for
Linux-Mandrake 7.1, look for it in "updates/7.1/RPMS/". Updated source
RPMs are available as well, but you generally do not need to download
them.
Please be aware that sometimes it takes the mirrors a few hours to
update, so if you want an immediate upgrade, please use one of the two
above-listed mirrors.
