Title:	Conectiva Security Advisory CLA-2004:811
Summary:	NOSUMMARY
Description:	Description: The remote host is missing updates announced in advisory CLA-2004:811. GNU libtool consists of a set of shell scripts used to build shared libraries. Joseph S. Myers and Stefan Nordhausen independently found[1,2] a vulnerability[3] in the way the ltmain.sh script (which is part of the libtool package) creates temporary directories for its use. A local attacker could exploit this vulnerability to change/delete arbitrary files in the system on behalf of the user who is calling the script. The vulnerability has been fixed in the 1.5.2 version of libtool. This update keeps the original versions distributed with Conectiva Linux, fixing the vulnerability by using mktemp to securely create the directories. Solution: The apt tool can be used to perform RPM package upgrades by running 'apt-get update' followed by 'apt-get upgrade' http://www.securityfocus.com/archive/1/352333 http://www.geocrawler.com/mail/msg.php3?msg_id=3438808&list=405 http://www.securityfocus.com/bid/9530 http://www.securityspace.com/smysecure/catid.html?in=CLA-2004:811 http://distro.conectiva.com.br/atualizacoes/index.php?id=a&anuncio=002004 Risk factor : High
