Test ID: | 1.3.6.1.4.1.25623.1.0.50782 |
Category: | Mandrake Local Security Checks |
Title: | Mandrake Security Advisory MDKSA-2002:007 (at) |
Summary: | NOSUMMARY |
Description: | Description: The remote host is missing an update to at announced via advisory MDKSA-2002:007. zen-parse discovered a problem in the at command containing an extra call to free() which can lead to a segfault with a carefully crafted, but incorrect, format. This is caused due to a heap corruption that can be exploited under certain circumstances because the at command is installed setuid root. Thanks to SuSE for an additional security improvement that ads the O_EXCL (exclusive) option to the open(2) system call inside the at code. Affected versions: 8.1 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-2002:007 Risk factor : High |
