mutt: race conditions
| Package(s): | mutt |
CVE #(s): | CVE-2006-5297
CVE-2006-5298
|
| Created: | October 30, 2006 |
Updated: | November 1, 2006 |
| Description: |
A race condition in the safe_open function in the Mutt mail client 1.5.12
and earlier, when creating temporary files in an NFS filesystem, allows
local users to overwrite arbitrary files due to limitations of the use of
the O_EXCL flag on NFS filesystems. (CVE-2006-5297)
The mutt_adv_mktemp function in the Mutt mail client 1.5.12 and earlier
does not properly verify that temporary files have been created with
restricted permissions, which might allow local users to create files with
weak permissions via a race condition between the mktemp and safe_fopen
function calls. (CVE-2006-5298) |
