Test ID:1.3.6.1.4.1.25623.1.1.10.2021.0340
Category:Mageia Linux Local Security Checks
Title:Mageia: Security Advisory (MGASA-2021-0340)
Summary:The remote host is missing an update for the 'guile1.8' package(s) announced via the MGASA-2021-0340 advisory.
Description:Summary:
The remote host is missing an update for the 'guile1.8' package(s) announced via the MGASA-2021-0340 advisory.

Vulnerability Insight:
The mkdir procedure of GNU Guile 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. For example, mkdir
without the optional mode argument would create directories as 0777. This is
fixed in Guile 2.0.13. Prior versions are affected (CVE-2016-8605).

Affected Software/OS:
'guile1.8' package(s) on Mageia 7.

Solution:
Please install the updated package(s).

CVSS Score:
5.0

CVSS Vector:
AV:N/AC:L/Au:N/C:N/I:P/A:N
