Category:	Mandrake Local Security Checks
Title:	Mandrake Security Advisory MDKSA-2002:052 (sharutils)
Summary:	NOSUMMARY
Description:	Description: The remote host is missing an update to sharutils announced via advisory MDKSA-2002:052. The uudecode utility creates output files without checking to see if it is about to write to a symlink or pipe. This could be exploited by a local attacker to overwrite files or lead to privilege escalation if users decode data into share directories, such as /tmp. This update fixes this vulnerability by checking to see if the destination output file is a symlink or pipe. Affected versions: 7.1, 7.2, 8.0, 8.1, 8.2, Corporate Server 1.0.1, Single Network Firewall 7.2 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-2002:052 http://cve.mitre.org/cgi-bin/cvename.cgi?name=CVE-2002-0178 http://www.aerasec.de/security/index.html?id=ae-200204-033&lang=en Risk factor : High CVSS Score: 7.2
