Summary:NOSUMMARY
Description:Description:

The remote host is missing an update to cpio
announced via advisory MDKSA-2005:116.

A race condition has been found in cpio 2.6 and earlier which allows local
users to modify permissions of arbitrary files via a hard link attack on
a file while it is being decompressed, whose permissions are changed by
cpio after the decompression is complete. (CVE-2005-1111)

A vulnerability has been discovered in cpio that allows a malicious cpio
file to extract to an arbitrary directory of the attackers choice.
Cpio will extract to the path specified in the cpio file, this path can be
absolute. (CVE-2005-1229)

The updated packages have been patched to address both of these issues.

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