Category:	Mandrake Local Security Checks
Title:	Mandrake Security Advisory MDKSA-2003:068 (gzip)
Summary:	NOSUMMARY
Description:	Description: The remote host is missing an update to gzip announced via advisory MDKSA-2003:068. A vulnerability exists in znew, a script included with gzip, that would create temporary files without taking precautions to avoid a symlink attack. Patches have been applied to make use of mktemp to generate unique filenames, and properly make use of noclobber in the script. Likewise, a fix for gzexe which had been applied previously was incomplete. It has been fixed to make full use of mktemp everywhere a temporary file is created. The znew problem was initially reported by Michal Zalewski and was again reported more recently to Debian by Paul Szabo. Affected versions: 8.2, 9.0, 9.1, 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-2003:068 http://cve.mitre.org/cgi-bin/cvename.cgi?name=CVE-1999-1332 http://cve.mitre.org/cgi-bin/cvename.cgi?name=CVE-2003-0367 http://marc.theaimsgroup.com/?l=bugtraq&m=88998519803911&w=2 http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=193375 Risk factor : Medium CVSS Score: 2.1
