Test ID:1.3.6.1.4.1.25623.1.0.51297
Category:Mandrake Local Security Checks
Title:Mandrake Security Advisory MDKSA-2005:029 (vim)
Summary:NOSUMMARY
Description:Description:

The remote host is missing an update to vim
announced via advisory MDKSA-2005:029.

Javier Fernandez-Sanguino Pena discovered two vulnerabilities in
scripts included with the vim editor. The two scripts, tcltags and
vimspell.sh created temporary files in an insecure manner which could
allow a malicious user to execute a symbolic link attack or to create,
or overwrite, arbitrary files with the privileges of the user invoking
the scripts.

The updated packages are patched to prevent this problem.

Affected versions: 10.0, 10.1, Corporate Server 2.1,
Corporate Server 3.0


Solution:
To upgrade automatically use MandrakeUpdate or urpmi. The verification
of md5 checksums and GPG signatures is performed automatically for you.
