| Summary: | Redhat Security Advisory RHSA-2005:080 |
| Description: | The remote host is missing updates announced in advisory RHSA-2005:080. GNU cpio copies files into or out of a cpio or tar archive. It was discovered that cpio uses a 0 umask when creating files using the -O (archive) option. This creates output files with mode 0666 (all can read and write) regardless of the user's umask setting. The Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures project (cve.mitre.org) has assigned the name CVE-1999-1572 to this issue. All users of cpio should upgrade to this updated package, which resolves this issue, and adds support for large files (> 2GB). Solution: Please note that this update is available via Red Hat Network. To use Red Hat Network, launch the Red Hat Update Agent with the following command: up2date http://rhn.redhat.com/errata/RHSA-2005-080.html Risk factor : Medium |
