Test ID:1.3.6.1.4.1.25623.1.0.50501
Category:Ubuntu Local Security Checks
Title:Ubuntu 4.10 USN-65-1 (apache)
Summary:NOSUMMARY
Description:Description:

The remote host is missing an update to apache
announced via advisory USN-65-1.

Javier Fernandez-Sanguino Pena noticed that the 'check_forensic'
script created temporary files in an insecure manner. This could
allow a symbolic link attack to create or overwrite arbitrary files
with the privileges of the user invoking the program.

The following packages are affected: apache-utils

Solution:
The problem can be corrected by upgrading the affected package to
version 1.3.31-6ubuntu0.4. In general, a standard system upgrade is
sufficient to effect the necessary changes.
