Test ID:1.3.6.1.4.1.25623.1.0.50561
Category:Mandrake Local Security Checks
Title:Mandrake Security Advisory MDKSA-2004:080 (shorewall)
Summary:NOSUMMARY
Description:Description:

The remote host is missing an update to shorewall
announced via advisory MDKSA-2004:080.

The shorewall package has a vulnerability when creating temporary
files and directories, which could allow non-root users to overwrite
arbitrary files on the system. The updated packages are patched to
fix the problem.

As well, for Mandrakelinux 10.0, the updated packages have been fixed
to start shorewall after the network, rather than before.

After updating the package, if shorewall was previously running, you
may need to issue a service shorewall restart.

Affected versions: 10.0, 9.1, 9.2, Corporate Server 2.1,
Multi Network Firewall 8.2


Solution:
To upgrade automatically use MandrakeUpdate or urpmi. The verification
of md5 checksums and GPG signatures is performed automatically for you.
