Mandriva Linux Security Advisory MDVSA-2009:041
http://www.mandriva.com/security/
_______________________________________________________________________
Package : jhead
Date : February 17, 2009
Affected: 2008.0, 2008.1, 2009.0
_______________________________________________________________________
Problem Description:
Security vulnerabilies have been identified and fixed in jhead.
Buffer overflow in the DoCommand function in jhead before 2.84 might
allow context-dependent attackers to cause a denial of service (crash)
(CVE-2008-4575).
Jhead before 2.84 allows local users to overwrite arbitrary files
via a symlink attack on a temporary file (CVE-2008-4639).
Jhead 2.84 and earlier allows local users to delete arbitrary files
via vectors involving a modified input filename (CVE-2008-4640).
jhead 2.84 and earlier allows attackers to execute arbitrary commands
via shell metacharacters in unspecified input (CVE-2008-4641).
This update provides the latest Jhead to correct these issues.
