Linux-Mandrake Security Update Advisory
________________________________________________________________________
Package name: inn
Date: January 10th, 2001
Advisory ID: MDKSA-2001:010
Affected versions: 6.0, 6.1, 7.0, 7.1, 7.2
________________________________________________________________________
Problem Description:
WireX discovered a potential temporary file race condition in the inn
program. This condition is due partly to the way inn is compiled and
configured on some Linux distributions, including Linux-Mandrake, and
partly due to the lack of information in the inn package detailing
potential security problems if you do not tell inn to use a private
temporary directory. The patch supplied by WireX that creates
temporary files correctly has been applied, and the temporary directory
that inn uses has been moved from /usr/tmp to /var/spool/news/tmp which
is available solely to the news user which inn runs as.
________________________________________________________________________
Please verify the update prior to upgrading to ensure the integrity of
the downloaded package. You can do this with the command:
rpm --checksig package.rpm
You can get the GPG public key of the Linux-Mandrake Security Team at
http://www.linux-mandrake.com/en/security/RPM-GPG-KEYS
If you use MandrakeUpdate, the verification of md5 checksum and GPG
signature is performed automatically for you.

To upgrade automatically, use MandrakeUpdate.
If you want to upgrade manually, download the updated package from one
of our FTP server mirrors and upgrade with "rpm -Fvh *.rpm".
You can download the updates directly from one of the mirror sites
listed at:
http://www.linux-mandrake.com/en/ftp.php3.
Updated packages are available in the "updates/[ver]/RPMS/" directory.
For example, if you are looking for an updated RPM package for
Linux-Mandrake 7.2, look for it in "updates/7.2/RPMS/". Updated source
RPMs are available as well, but you generally do not need to download
them.
Please be aware that sometimes it takes the mirrors a few hours to
update.
