Title:	Mandrake Security Advisory MDKSA-2001:058 (ispell)
Summary:	NOSUMMARY
Description:	Description: The remote host is missing an update to ispell announced via advisory MDKSA-2001:058. The ispell program uses mktemp() to open temporary files. This makes it vulnerable to symlink attacks. The program now has a patch from OpenBSD applied that uses mkstemp() instead, and switches gets() to fgets() for dealing with user input. Affected versions: 7.1, 7.2, 8.0, Corporate Server 1.0.1 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-2001:058 http://www.linux-mandrake.com/en/security/RPM-GPG-KEYS Risk factor : High
