Category:	Mandrake Local Security Checks
Title:	Mandrake Security Advisory MDKSA-2001:053-1 (gnupg)
Summary:	NOSUMMARY
Description:	Description: The remote host is missing an update to gnupg announced via advisory MDKSA-2001:053-1. A format string vulnerability exists in gnupg 1.0.5 and previous versions which is fixed in 1.0.6. This vulnerability can be used to invoke shell commands with privileges of the currently logged-in user. Update: The /usr/bin/gpg executable was installed setuid root and setgid root. While being setuid root offers locking pages in physical memory to avoid writing sensitive material to swap and is of benefit, being setgid root provides no benefits and allows users to write to files that have group root access. This update strips the setgid bit from /usr/bin/gpg. Affected versions: 7.1, 7.2, 8.0, 8.1, 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-2001:053-1 http://archives.indenial.com/hypermail/bugtraq/2001/May2001/0275.html http://www.linux-mandrake.com/en/security/RPM-GPG-KEYS Risk factor : High
