Test ID:1.3.6.1.4.1.25623.1.1.12.2005.100.1
Category:Ubuntu Local Security Checks
Title:Ubuntu: Security Advisory (USN-100-1)
Summary:The remote host is missing an update for the 'cdrtools' package(s) announced via the USN-100-1 advisory.
Description:Summary:
The remote host is missing an update for the 'cdrtools' package(s) announced via the USN-100-1 advisory.

Vulnerability Insight:
Javier Fernandez-Sanguino Pena noticed that cdrecord created temporary
files in an insecure manner if DEBUG was enabled in
/etc/cdrecord/rscsi. If the default value was used (which stored the
debug output file in /tmp), this could allow a symbolic link attack to
create or overwrite arbitrary files with the privileges of the user
invoking cdrecord.

Please note that DEBUG is not enabled by default in Ubuntu, so if you
did not explicitly enable it, this does not affect you.

Affected Software/OS:
'cdrtools' package(s) on Ubuntu 4.10.

Solution:
Please install the updated package(s).

CVSS Score:
5.0

CVSS Vector:
AV:N/AC:L/Au:N/C:P/I:N/A:N
