-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 _______________________________________________________________________ Mandriva Linux Security Advisory MDKSA-2006:106 http://www.mandriva.com/security/ _______________________________________________________________________ Package : mdkkdm Date : June 15, 2006 Affected: Corporate 3.0 _______________________________________________________________________ Problem Description: A problem with how kdm manages the ~/.dmrc file was discovered by Ludwig Nussel. By using a symlink attack, a local user could get kdm to read arbitrary files on the system, including privileged system files and those belonging to other users. Mandriva's mdkkdm also suffers from this same problem and has been patched to correct it. Only Corporate 3 is affected; in Mandriva Linux 2006, mdkkdm is in contribs. _______________________________________________________________________ References: http://cve.mitre.org/cgi-bin/cvename.cgi?name=CVE-2006-2449 _______________________________________________________________________ Updated Packages: Corporate 3.0: dd234f9831a30157879e25b29a14cf2f corporate/3.0/RPMS/mdkkdm-9.2-22.1.C30mdk.i586.rpm 043b4a58f3a101482a21afe8ca5d162b corporate/3.0/SRPMS/mdkkdm-9.2-22.1.C30mdk.src.rpm Corporate 3.0/X86_64: d1350d31ceb08dc68b1184469d23fea5 x86_64/corporate/3.0/RPMS/mdkkdm-9.2-22.1.C30mdk.x86_64.rpm 043b4a58f3a101482a21afe8ca5d162b x86_64/corporate/3.0/SRPMS/mdkkdm-9.2-22.1.C30mdk.src.rpm _______________________________________________________________________ To upgrade automatically use MandrivaUpdate or urpmi.
