Test ID:1.3.6.1.4.1.25623.1.0.59205
Category:Ubuntu Local Security Checks
Title:Ubuntu USN-516-1 (xfsdump)
Summary:NOSUMMARY
Description:Description:

The remote host is missing an update to xfsdump
announced via advisory USN-516-1.

A security issue affects the following Ubuntu releases:

Ubuntu 6.06 LTS
Ubuntu 6.10
Ubuntu 7.04

This advisory also applies to the corresponding versions of
Kubuntu, Edubuntu, and Xubuntu.

Paul Martin discovered that xfs_fsr creates a temporary directory
with insecure permissions. This allows a local attacker to exploit a
race condition in xfs_fsr to read or overwrite arbitrary files on xfs
filesystems.

The problem can be corrected by upgrading your system to the
following package versions:

Ubuntu 6.06 LTS:
xfsdump 2.2.30-1ubuntu0.1

Ubuntu 6.10:
xfsdump 2.2.38-1ubuntu0.6.10.1

Ubuntu 7.04:

In general, a standard system upgrade is sufficient to affect the
necessary changes.
