Category:	Mandrake Local Security Checks
Title:	Mandrake Security Advisory MDKSA-2004:142 (gzip)
Summary:	NOSUMMARY
Description:	Description: The remote host is missing an update to gzip announced via advisory MDKSA-2004:142. The Trustix developers found some insecure temporary file creation problems in the zdiff, znew, and gzeze supplemental scripts in the gzip package. These flaws could allow local users to overwrite files via a symlink attack. A similar problem was fixed last year (CVE-2003-0367) in which this same problem was found in znew. At that time, Mandrakesoft also used mktemp to correct the problems in gzexe. This update uses mktemp to handle temporary files in the zdiff script. Affected versions: 10.0, 10.1, 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. http://www.securityspace.com/smysecure/catid.html?in=MDKSA-2004:142 http://cve.mitre.org/cgi-bin/cvename.cgi?name=CVE-2004-0970 Risk factor : Medium CVSS Score: 2.1
