Category: | Mandrake Local Security Checks |
Title: | Mandrake Security Advisory MDKSA-2005:046 (uim) |
Summary: | NOSUMMARY |
Description: | Description: The remote host is missing an update to uim announced via advisory MDKSA-2005:046. Takumi ASAKI discovered that uim always trusts environment variables which can allow a local attacker to obtain elevated privileges when libuim is linked against an suid/sgid application. This problem is only exploitable in 'immodule for Qt' enabled Qt applications. The updated packages are patched to fix the problem. Affected versions: 10.1 Solution: To upgrade automatically use MandrakeUpdate or urpmi. The verification of md5 checksums and GPG signatures is performed automatically for you. http://www.securityspace.com/smysecure/catid.html?in=MDKSA-2005:046 http://cve.mitre.org/cgi-bin/cvename.cgi?name=CVE-2005-0503 http://lists.freedesktop.org/pipermail/uim/2005-February/000996.html Risk factor : Medium CVSS Score: 4.6 |
