-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 _______________________________________________________________________ Mandriva Linux Security Advisory MDKSA-2006:090 http://www.mandriva.com/security/ _______________________________________________________________________ Package : shadow-utils Date : May 24, 2006 Affected: 10.2, Corporate 3.0, Multi Network Firewall 2.0 _______________________________________________________________________ Problem Description: A potential security problem was found in the useradd tool when it creates a new user's mailbox due to a missing argument to the open() call, resulting in the first permissions of the file being some random garbage found on the stack, which could possibly be held open for reading or writing before the proper fchmod() call is executed. Packages have been patched to correct this issue. _______________________________________________________________________ References: http://cve.mitre.org/cgi-bin/cvename.cgi?name=CVE-2006-1174 _______________________________________________________________________ Updated Packages: Mandriva Linux 10.2: 825d79682662b8a0fd0d1d4074df467c 10.2/RPMS/shadow-utils-4.0.3-9.1.102mdk.i586.rpm 611b3e5406342f3a005a91f5398c0f6e 10.2/SRPMS/shadow-utils-4.0.3-9.1.102mdk.src.rpm Mandriva Linux 10.2/X86_64: eb14eb3e3ad02685d0f979af3ca9ff8c x86_64/10.2/RPMS/shadow-utils-4.0.3-9.1.102mdk.x86_64.rpm 611b3e5406342f3a005a91f5398c0f6e x86_64/10.2/SRPMS/shadow-utils-4.0.3-9.1.102mdk.src.rpm Corporate 3.0: cd201b43668ffac7541855917452ed27 corporate/3.0/RPMS/shadow-utils-4.0.3-8.2.C30mdk.i586.rpm 275c41183422953389e9ea5fcb59fba5 corporate/3.0/SRPMS/shadow-utils-4.0.3-8.2.C30mdk.src.rpm Corporate 3.0/X86_64: 7d1950aca0c535b23cc4d2697e0b9c98 x86_64/corporate/3.0/RPMS/shadow-utils-4.0.3-8.2.C30mdk.x86_64.rpm 275c41183422953389e9ea5fcb59fba5 x86_64/corporate/3.0/SRPMS/shadow-utils-4.0.3-8.2.C30mdk.src.rpm Multi Network Firewall 2.0: f666b2bb0f409216642756a9318ecf34 mnf/2.0/RPMS/shadow-utils-4.0.3-8.2.M20mdk.i586.rpm 3624267601a9263555d713cac566ab15 mnf/2.0/SRPMS/shadow-utils-4.0.3-8.2.M20mdk.src.rpm _______________________________________________________________________ To upgrade automatically use MandrivaUpdate or urpmi.
