Test ID:1.3.6.1.4.1.25623.1.0.56136
Category:Mandrake Local Security Checks
Title:Mandrake Security Advisory MDKSA-2006:015 (hylafax)
Summary:NOSUMMARY
Description:Description:

The remote host is missing an update to hylafax
announced via advisory MDKSA-2006:015.

Patrice Fournier discovered the faxrcvd/notify scripts
(executed as the uucp/fax user) run user-supplied input through
eval without any attempt at sanitising it first. This would
allow any user who could submit jobs to HylaFAX, or through
telco manipulation control the representation of callid
information presented to HylaFAX to run arbitrary commands as
the uucp/fax user. (CVE-2005-3539, only 'notify' in the covered
versions)

Updated packages were also reviewed for vulnerability to
an issue where if PAM is disabled, a user could log in with no
password. (CVE-2005-3538)

In addition, some fixes to the packages for permissions, and
the %pre/%post scripts were backported from cooker. (#19679)

The updated packages have been patched to correct these issues.

Affected: 10.1, 10.2, 2006.0

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