---------------------------------------------------------------------
1. Topic:
New fileutils packages for Red Hat Linux 6.2, 7.0, 7.1, 7.2 and 7.3 fix a
race condition in recursive remove and move commands.
2. Relevant releases/architectures:
Red Hat Linux 6.2 - i386
Red Hat Linux 7.0 - i386
Red Hat Linux 7.1 - i386
Red Hat Linux 7.2 - i386, ia64
Red Hat Linux 7.3 - i386
3. Problem description:
The fileutils package includes a number of GNU versions of common and
popular file management utilities.
A race condition in the recursive use of 'rm' and 'mv' in fileutils 4.1 and
earlier could allow local users to delete files and directories (as the user
running fileutils) if the user has write access to part of the tree being
moved or deleted.
Red Hat Linux versions 6.2, 7, 7.1, 7.2, and 7.3 shipped with versions of
fileutils that are vulnerable to this issue. This erratum provides new
fileutils packages that contain a patch correcting this issue.
4. Solution:
Before applying this update, make sure all previously released errata
relevant to your system have been applied.
To update all RPMs for your particular architecture, run:
rpm -Fvh [filenames]
where [filenames] is a list of the RPMs you wish to upgrade. Only those
RPMs which are currently installed will be updated. Those RPMs which are
not installed but included in the list will not be updated. Note that you
can also use wildcards (*.rpm) if your current directory *only* contains the
desired RPMs.
Please note that this update is also available via Red Hat Network. Many
people find this an easier way to apply updates. To use Red Hat Network,
launch the Red Hat Update Agent with the following command:
up2date
This will start an interactive process that will result in the appropriate
RPMs being upgraded on your system.

rpm --checksig -v <filename>
If you only wish to verify that each package has not been corrupted or
tampered with, examine only the md5sum with the following command:
=20=20=20=20
md5sum <filename>
