Test ID:	1.3.6.1.4.1.25623.1.0.57501
Category:	Ubuntu Local Security Checks
Title:	Ubuntu USN-357-1 (mono)
Summary:	NOSUMMARY
Description:	Description: The remote host is missing an update to mono announced via advisory USN-357-1. A security issue affects the following Ubuntu releases: Ubuntu 5.10 Ubuntu 6.06 LTS This advisory also applies to the corresponding versions of Kubuntu, Edubuntu, and Xubuntu. Sebastian Krahmer of the SuSE security team discovered that the System.CodeDom.Compiler classes used temporary files in an insecure way. This could allow a symbolic link attack to create or overwrite arbitrary files with the privileges of the user invoking the program. Under some circumstances, a local attacker could also exploit this to inject arbitrary code into running Mono processes. Solution: The problem can be corrected by upgrading your system to the following package versions: Ubuntu 5.10: mono-classlib-1.0 1.1.8.3-1ubuntu2.1 mono-classlib-2.0 1.1.8.3-1ubuntu2.1 Ubuntu 6.06 LTS: mono-classlib-1.0 1.1.13.6-0ubuntu3.1 mono-classlib-2.0 1.1.13.6-0ubuntu3.1 In general, a standard system upgrade is sufficient to effect the necessary changes. http://www.securityspace.com/smysecure/catid.html?in=USN-357-1 Risk factor : High CVSS Score: 6.2
