Category:	Mandrake Local Security Checks
Title:	Mandrake Security Advisory MDKSA-2005:216 (fuse)
Summary:	NOSUMMARY
Description:	Description: The remote host is missing an update to fuse announced via advisory MDKSA-2005:216. Thomas Beige found that fusermount failed to securely handle special characters specified in mount points, which could allow a local attacker to corrupt the contents of /etc/mtab by mounting over a maliciously-named directory using fusermount. This could potentially allow the attacker to set unauthorized mount options. This is only possible when fusermount is installed setuid root, which is the case in Mandriva Linux. The updated packages have been patched to address these problems. Affected: 2006.0 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-2005:216 Risk factor : Medium CVSS Score: 2.1
