-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 _______________________________________________________________________ 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. _______________________________________________________________________ References: http://cve.mitre.org/cgi-bin/cvename.cgi?name=CAN-2004-0536 http://www.securityfocus.com/archive/1/365036 ______________________________________________________________________ Updated Packages: Mandrakelinux 9.2: 41dc4b726c3538ce29ff43cc21dce2d7 9.2/RPMS/tripwire-2.3.1.2-7.2.92mdk.i586.rpm 5e57f7157f206ff20a8a1d425734c84e 9.2/SRPMS/tripwire-2.3.1.2-7.2.92mdk.src.rpm _______________________________________________________________________ To upgrade automatically use MandrakeUpdate or urpmi.
