Test ID:1.3.6.1.4.1.25623.1.0.51633
Category:Mandrake Local Security Checks
Title:Mandrake Security Advisory MDKSA-2005:032-1 (cpio)
Summary:NOSUMMARY
Description:Description:

The remote host is missing an update to cpio
announced via advisory MDKSA-2005:032-1.

A vulnerability in cpio was discovered where cpio would create world-
writeable files when used in -o/--create mode and giving an output
file (with -O). This would allow any user to modify the created cpio
archive. The updated packages have been patched so that cpio now
respects the current umask setting of the user.

Update:

The updated cpio packages for 10.1, while they would install with
urpmi on the commandline, would not install via rpmdrake. The updated
packages correct that.

Affected versions: 10.1

Solution:
To upgrade automatically use MandrakeUpdate or urpmi. The verification
of md5 checksums and GPG signatures is performed automatically for you.
