Category:	Mageia Linux Local Security Checks
Title:	Mageia: Security Advisory (MGASA-2016-0354)
Summary:	The remote host is missing an update for the 'guile' package(s) announced via the MGASA-2016-0354 advisory.
Description:	Summary: The remote host is missing an update for the 'guile' package(s) announced via the MGASA-2016-0354 advisory. Vulnerability Insight: The 'mkdir' procedure of GNU Guile, an implementation of the Scheme programming language, temporarily changed the process' umask to zero. During that time window, in a multithreaded application, other threads could end up creating files with insecure permissions (CVE-2016-8605). GNU Guile, an implementation of the Scheme language, provides a 'REPL server' which is a command prompt that developers can connect to for live coding and debugging purposes. The REPL server is vulnerable to the HTTP inter-protocol attack. This constitutes a remote code execution vulnerability for developers running a REPL server that listens on a loopback device or private network (CVE-2016-8606). The guile package has been updated to version 2.0.13, fixing these issues and other bugs. See the upstream release announcements for details. Affected Software/OS: 'guile' package(s) on Mageia 5. Solution: Please install the updated package(s). CVSS Score: 7.5 CVSS Vector: AV:N/AC:L/Au:N/C:P/I:P/A:P
