Mandriva Linux Security Advisory MDVSA-2008:214
http://www.mandriva.com/security/
_______________________________________________________________________
Package : mon
Date : October 16, 2008
Affected: Corporate 3.0
_______________________________________________________________________
Problem Description:
Dmitry E. Oboukhov found that the test.alert script used in one of
the alert functions in mon created temporary files insecurely, which
could lead to a local denial of service or arbitrary file overwrite
via a symlink attack (CVE-2008-4477).
The updated packages have been patched to prevent this issue.
