Test ID:1.3.6.1.4.1.25623.1.0.60601
Category:Mandrake Local Security Checks
Title:Mandrake Security Advisory MDVSA-2008:074 (audacity)
Summary:NOSUMMARY
Description:Description:

The remote host is missing an update to audacity
announced via advisory MDVSA-2008:074.

Audacity creates a temporary directory with a predictable name without
checking for previous existence of that directory, which allows local
users to cause a denial of service (recording deadlock) by creating
the directory before Audacity is run. This issue can also be leveraged
to delete arbitrary files or directories via a symlink attack.

The updated package fixes the issue.

Affected: 2007.1, 2008.0, Corporate 3.0

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