Title:	Mandrake Security Advisory MDKSA-2006:188 (mono)
Summary:	NOSUMMARY
Description:	Description: The remote host is missing an update to mono announced via advisory MDKSA-2006:188. Sebastian Krahmer of the SUSE security team found that the System.CodeDom.Compiler classes in mono used temporary files in an insecure way that could allow a symbolic link attack to overwrite arbitrary files with the privileges of the user running a program that made use of those classes. Updated packages have been patched to correct this issue. Affected: 2007.0 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-2006:188 Risk factor : High CVSS Score: 6.2
