Vulnerability in FAM 2.6.8, 2.6.6, and other versions allows unprivileged users to obtain the names of files whose access is restricted to the root group. The SGI bugzilla has a patch. http://oss.sgi.com/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=151
2 security advisory in 2 days :-( ... I hope the patch for 2.6.6 and 2.6.8 will apply okay for 2.6.4 ! Are you sure RHEL3 is not vulnerable since it uses 2.6.8 ? Daniel
This issue is really old, so it's not really accurate to say 2 advisories in 2 days :) I just checked the source in RHEL3, it's safe. This only affects RHEL2.1.
