Mandrakelinux Security Update Advisory
_______________________________________________________________________
Package name: cpio
Advisory ID: MDKSA-2005:032-1
Date: February 11th, 2005
Original Advisory Date: February 10th, 2005
Affected versions: 10.1
______________________________________________________________________
Problem Description:
A vulnerability in cpio was discovered where cpio would create world-
writeable files when used in -o/--create mode and giving an output
file (with -O). This would allow any user to modify the created cpio
archive. The updated packages have been patched so that cpio now
respects the current umask setting of the user.
Update:
The updated cpio packages for 10.1, while they would install with
urpmi on the commandline, would not install via rpmdrake. The updated
packages correct that.
