ncpfs: multiple vulnerabilities

Package(s):ncpfs CVE #(s):CVE-2010-0790 CVE-2010-0791
Created:March 12, 2010 Updated:June 14, 2010
Description:

From the Mandriva advisory:

sutil/ncpumount.c in ncpumount in ncpfs 2.2.6 produces certain detailed error messages about the results of privileged file-access attempts, which allows local users to determine the existence of arbitrary files via the mountpoint name (CVE-2010-0790).

The (1) ncpmount, (2) ncpumount, and (3) ncplogin programs in ncpfs 2.2.6 do not properly create lock files, which allows local users to cause a denial of service (application failure) via unspecified vectors that trigger the creation of a /etc/mtab~ file that persists after the program exits (CVE-2010-0791).

Alerts:
SuSE SUSE-SR:2010:012 2010-05-25
SuSE SUSE-SR:2010:013 2010-06-14
Mandriva MDVSA-2010:061 2010-03-11
