Category:	Mandrake Local Security Checks
Title:	Mandrake Security Advisory MDKSA-2005:204 (wget)
Summary:	NOSUMMARY
Description:	Description: The remote host is missing an update to wget announced via advisory MDKSA-2005:204. Hugo Vazquez Carames discovered a race condition when writing output files in wget. After wget determined the output file name, but before the file was actually opened, a local attacker with write permissions to the download directory could create a symbolic link with the name of the output file. This could be exploited to overwrite arbitrary files with the permissions of the user invoking wget. The time window of opportunity for the attacker is determined solely by the delay of the first received data packet. The updated packages have been patched to correct this issue. Affected: 10.1, 10.2, Corporate 3.0, Multi Network Firewall 2.0 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-2005:204 Risk factor : Medium CVSS Score: 2.6
