Category:FreeBSD Local Security Checks
Title:FreeBSD Security Advisory (FreeBSD-SA-05:20.cvsbug.asc)
Summary:The remote host is missing an update to the system; as announced in the referenced advisory FreeBSD-SA-05:20.cvsbug.asc
Description:Summary:
The remote host is missing an update to the system
as announced in the referenced advisory FreeBSD-SA-05:20.cvsbug.asc

Vulnerability Insight:
cvsbug(1) is a utility for reporting problems in the CVS revision
control system. It is based on the GNATS send-pr(1) utility.

A temporary file is created, used, deleted, and then re-created with
the same name. This creates a window during which an attacker could
replace the file with a link to another file.

While cvsbug(1) is based on the send-pr(1) utility, this problem does
not exist in the version of send-pr(1) distributed with FreeBSD.

Solution:
Upgrade your system to the appropriate stable release
or security branch dated after the correction date.

CVSS Score:
4.6
