Test ID:1.3.6.1.4.1.25623.1.0.59032
Category:Mandrake Local Security Checks
Title:Mandrake Security Advisory MDKSA-2007:198 (util-linux)
Summary:NOSUMMARY
Description:Description:

The remote host is missing an update to util-linux
announced via advisory MDKSA-2007:198.

The mount and umount programs in util-linux called the setuid() and
setgid() functions in the wrong order and did not check the return
values, which could allow attackers to grain privileges via helper
applications such as mount.nfs.

Updated packages have been patched to fix this issue.

Affected: 2007.0, 2007.1, 2008.0, Corporate 3.0, Corporate 4.0,
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.
