Name        : lvm
Versions    : rh73: lvm-1.0.3-4.1.legacy

Versions    : fc1: lvm-1.0.3-13.1.legacy
Summary     : Linux Logical Volume Manager utilities.
Description :
LVM includes all of the support for handling read/write operations on
physical volumes (hard disks, RAID-Systems, magneto optical, etc.,
multiple devices (MD), see mdadd(8) or even loop devices, see
losetup(8)), creating volume groups (kind of virtual disks) from one
or more physical volumes and creating one or more logical volumes
(kind of logical partitions) in volume groups.

---------------------------------------------------------------------
Update Information:

An updated lvm package that fixes a security flaw is now available.

LVM is the Linux Logical Volume Manager utilities.

A vulnerability has been reported in LVM, which can be exploited by
malicious, local users to perform certain actions on a vulnerable system
with escalated privileges. The vulnerability is caused due to the
"lvmcreate_initrd" script creating temporary files insecurely. This can
be exploited via symlink attacks to overwrite arbitrary files on the
system with the privileges of the user invoking the vulnerable script.
The Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures project (cve.mitre.org) has
assigned the name CAN-2004-0972 to this issue.

Users of lvm are advised to upgrade to this errata package, which
contains a backported patch correcting this issue.
