Category:Fedora Local Security Checks
Title:Fedora Legacy Security Advisory FLSA-2005:168326
Summary:NOSUMMARY
Description:Description:

The remote host is missing updates announced in
advisory FLSA-2005:168326.

A bug was found in the way the umount command is executed by normal
users. It may be possible for a user to gain elevated privileges if the
user is able to execute the umount -r command on a mounted file
system. The file system will be re-mounted only with the readonly flag
set, clearing flags such as nosuid and noexec. The Common
Vulnerabilities and Exposures project (cve.mitre.org) has assigned the
name CVE-2005-2876 to this issue.

All users of util-linux and mount should upgrade to these updated
packages, which contain a backported patch to correct this issue.

Affected platforms:
Redhat 7.3
Redhat 9
Fedora Core 1
Fedora Core 2
