Immunix OS Security Advisory
Packages updated: pine
Affected products: Immunix OS 6.2, 7.0-beta, and 7.0
Bugs Fixed: immunix/1563
Date: April 14, 2001
Advisory ID: IMNX-2001-70-015-01
Author: Greg Kroah-Hartman <[email protected]>
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
Description:
Versions of pine that shipped with Immunix 6.2, 7.0-beta, and 7.0 are
vulnerable to temp file races which could allow malicious users to
obtain root privileges. This release fixes this problem, and many
other pine bugs (see http://www.washington.edu/pine/changes.html for a
full list of all of the bug fixed.)
Immunix 7.0 does not install the pine packages by default but provides
them in the extras/unsupported directory so they do not need to be
upgraded unless they have been installed manually by the system
administrator.
