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.
