Linux-Mandrake Security Update Advisory
________________________________________________________________________
Package name: mc
Date: December 12th, 2000
Advisory ID: MDKSA-2000:078
Affected versions: 6.0, 6.1, 7.0, 7.1, 7.2
________________________________________________________________________
Problem Description:
A problem was found in the cons.saver program by Maurycy Prodeus. The
cons.saver program is a screensaver for the console that is included in
the mc package. cons.saver does not check if it is started with a
valid stdout, which combined with a bug in its check to see if its
argument is a tty (it forgets to close the file-descriptor after
opening the supposed tty), causes it to write a NULL character to the
file given as its parameter.
________________________________________________________________________
Please verify the update prior to upgrading to ensure the integrity of
the downloaded package. You can do this with the command:
rpm --checksig package.rpm
You can get the GPG public key of the Linux-Mandrake Security Team at
http://www.linux-mandrake.com/en/security/RPM-GPG-KEYS
If you use MandrakeUpdate, the verification of md5 checksum and GPG
signature is performed automatically for you.

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 -Fvh *.rpm".
You can download the updates directly from one of the mirror sites
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 7.2, look for it in "updates/7.2/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.
