Description Mark J. Cox 2004-10-19 10:35:19 UTC
On September 10th 2004, Trustix shared some temporary file
vulnerabilities with vendor-sec.  After some refinement these were
made public on Sep30.  These are minor issues (impact: LOW) and
therefore should be fixed in future updates, but don't deserve their
own security advisory.

Temporary file vulnerability in espgs pj-gs.sh, ps2epsi, pv.sh,
sysvlp.sh scripts.  Patch attached.

                Affects: RHEL2.1
                Probably Affects: RHEL3

Proposed patch (needs backporting)

Comment 4 Tim Waugh 2004-10-19 16:27:52 UTC
We had most of these already fixed.  One of them is new.

There is also bug #88906 -- since we're fixing security things in scripts, I may
as well bundle that one in.

Comment 5 Tim Waugh 2004-10-20 11:18:15 UTC
Not including bug #88906.

Fixed in CVS for RHEL3.
Fixed in CVS for RHEL2.1.

Comment 6 Tim Waugh 2004-11-17 16:36:40 UTC
Deferring until the next security update for ghostscript.

Comment 7 Mark J. Cox 2005-08-02 11:31:09 UTC
Fixed in RHBA-2005:081 (to be RHSA-2005:081), adding to RHEL3U6CanFix (security
bug - overriding ack process)
