Test ID:1.3.6.1.4.1.25623.1.1.10.2013.0205
Category:Mageia Linux Local Security Checks
Title:Mageia: Security Advisory (MGASA-2013-0205)
Summary:The remote host is missing an update for the 'rubygem-passenger' package(s) announced via the MGASA-2013-0205 advisory.
Description:Summary:
The remote host is missing an update for the 'rubygem-passenger' package(s) announced via the MGASA-2013-0205 advisory.

Vulnerability Insight:
Phusion Passengers code did not always create temporary files and directories
in a secure manner. Temporary files and directories were sometimes created
with a predictable filename. A local attacker can pre-create temporary files,
resulting in a denial of service. In addition, this vulnerability allows a
local attacker to run arbitrary code as another user, by hijacking temporary
files (CVE-2013-2119).

The rubygem-passenger package has been upgraded to version 3.0.21, which fixes
this issue, as well as many others although at the moment has further issues
which will be fixed with another update (mga#10728).

Affected Software/OS:
'rubygem-passenger' package(s) on Mageia 3.

Solution:
Please install the updated package(s).

CVSS Score:
4.6

CVSS Vector:
