Mandrakelinux Security Update Advisory
_______________________________________________________________________
Package name: tripwire
Advisory ID: MDKSA-2004:057-1
Date: July 6th, 2004
Original Advisory Date: June 7th, 2004
Affected versions: 9.2
______________________________________________________________________
Problem Description:
Paul Herman discovered a format string vulnerability in tripwire that
could allow a local user to execute arbitrary code with the rights of
the user running tripwire (typically root). This vulnerability only
exists when tripwire is generating an email report.
Update:
The packages previously released for Mandrakelinux 9.2 would segfault
when doing a check due to compilation problems. The updated packages
correct the problem.
