Test ID: | 1.3.6.1.4.1.25623.1.0.51003 |
Category: | Red Hat Local Security Checks |
Title: | RedHat Security Advisory RHSA-2003:150 |
Summary: | NOSUMMARY |
Description: | Description: The remote host is missing updates announced in advisory RHSA-2003:150. LPRng is a print spooler. LPRng includes a program, psbanner, that can be used to produce Postscript banner pages to separate print jobs. A vulnerability has been found in psbanner, which creates in an insecure manner a temporary file with a known filename. An attacker could create a symbolic link and cause arbitrary files to be written as the lp user. Note: psbanner is not used by the default Red Hat Enterprise Linux LPRng configuration. Users that have configured LPRng to use psbanner should install these updated packages, which contain a patch so that psbanner does not create the temporary file. Solution: Please note that this update is available via Red Hat Network. To use Red Hat Network, launch the Red Hat Update Agent with the following command: up2date http://rhn.redhat.com/errata/RHSA-2003-150.html http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=188366 Risk factor : Medium CVSS Score: 2.1 |
