Category:	Mandrake Local Security Checks
Title:	Mandrake Security Advisory MDKSA-2005:175 (texinfo)
Summary:	NOSUMMARY
Description:	Description: The remote host is missing an update to texinfo announced via advisory MDKSA-2005:175. Frank Lichtenheld has discovered that texindex insecurely creates temporary files with predictable filenames. This is exploitable if a local attacker were to create symbolic links in the temporary files directory, pointing to a valid file on the filesystem. When texindex is executed, the file would be overwitten with the rights of the user running texindex. The updated packages have been patched to correct this issue. Affected versions: 10.1, 10.2, 2006.0, Corporate 3.0, Corporate Server 2.1 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-2005:175 Risk factor : Low CVSS Score: 1.2
