Category:	Mageia Linux Local Security Checks
Title:	Mageia: Security Advisory (MGASA-2013-0330)
Summary:	The remote host is missing an update for the 'python-scipy' package(s) announced via the MGASA-2013-0330 advisory.
Description:	Summary: The remote host is missing an update for the 'python-scipy' package(s) announced via the MGASA-2013-0330 advisory. Vulnerability Insight: Updated python-scipy package fixes security vulnerability: scipy.weave will use /tmp/[username] as persistent storage (cache), but it does not check whether or not this directory already exists, does not check whether it is a directory or a symlink, and also does not verify permissions or ownership, which could allow someone to place code in this directory that would be executed as the user running scipy.weave (CVE-2013-4251). The update also adds some missing dependencies. Affected Software/OS: 'python-scipy' package(s) on Mageia 2, Mageia 3. Solution: Please install the updated package(s). CVSS Score: 4.6 CVSS Vector: AV:L/AC:L/Au:N/C:P/I:P/A:P
