MDKSA-2004:060 - Updated ksymoops packages fix symlink vulnerability



-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE-----

                 Mandrakelinux Security Update Advisory
 _______________________________________________________________________

 Package name:           ksymoops
 Advisory ID:            MDKSA-2004:060
 Date:                   June 10th, 2004

 Affected versions:      10.0, 9.1, 9.2, Corporate Server 2.1
 ______________________________________________________________________

 Problem Description:

 Geoffrey Lee discovered a problem with the ksymoops-gznm script
 distributed with Mandrakelinux.  The script fails to do proper checking
 when copying a file to the /tmp directory.  Because of this, a local
 attacker can setup a symlink to point to a file that they do not have
 permission to remove.  The problem is difficult to exploit because
 someone with root privileges needs to run ksymoops on a particular
 module for which a symlink for the same filename already exists.
