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. http://www.securityspace.com/smysecure/catid.html?in=MDVSA-2008:074 Risk factor : Medium CVSS Score: 5.0 |
