Test ID:1.3.6.1.4.1.25623.1.0.52105
Category:Mandrake Local Security Checks
Title:Mandrake Security Advisory MDKSA-2005:077 (cdrecord)
Summary:NOSUMMARY
Description:Description:

The remote host is missing an update to cdrecord
announced via advisory MDKSA-2005:077.

Javier Fernandez-Sanguino Pena discovered that cdrecord created
temporary files in an insecure manner if DEBUG was enabled in
/etc/cdrecord/rscsi. If the default value was used (which stored
the debug output file in /tmp), a symbolic link attack could be used
to create or overwrite arbitrary files with the privileges of the
user invoking cdrecord. Please note that by default this configuration
file does not exist in Mandriva Linux so unless you create it and
enable DEBUG, this does not affect you.

The updated packages have been patched to correct these issues.

Affected versions: 10.0, 10.1, 10.2, Corporate 3.0,
Corporate Server 2.1


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