Category:	Mandrake Local Security Checks
Title:	Mandrake Security Advisory MDKSA-2004:159 (glibc)
Summary:	NOSUMMARY
Description:	Description: The remote host is missing an update to glibc announced via advisory MDKSA-2004:159. The Trustix developers discovered that the catchsegv and glibcbug utilities, part of the glibc package, created temporary files in an insecure manner. This could allow for a symlink attack to create or overwrite arbitrary files with the privileges of the user invoking the program. The updated packages have been patched to correct this issue. Affected versions: 10.0, 10.1 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-2004:159 http://cve.mitre.org/cgi-bin/cvename.cgi?name=CVE-2004-0968 Risk factor : Medium CVSS Score: 2.1
