Test ID:1.3.6.1.4.1.25623.1.1.12.2005.75.1
Category:Ubuntu Local Security Checks
Title:Ubuntu: Security Advisory (USN-75-1)
Summary:The remote host is missing an update for the 'cpio' package(s) announced via the USN-75-1 advisory.
Description:Summary:
The remote host is missing an update for the 'cpio' package(s) announced via the USN-75-1 advisory.

Vulnerability Insight:
Recently it was discovered that cpio created world-writeable files
when used in -o/--create mode with giving an output file (with -O).
This allowed any user to modify the created cpio archives. Now cpio
respects the current umask setting of the user.

Note: This vulnerability has already been fixed in a very old version
of cpio, but the fix was never ported to the current version.
Therefore the CAN number was assigned to the year 1999.

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

Solution:
Please install the updated package(s).

CVSS Score:
2.1

CVSS Vector:
