Description Josh Bressers 2005-02-15 13:25:11 EST

The glibcbug script in glibc 2.3.4 and earlier allows local users to overwrite
arbitrary files via a symlink attack on temporary files, a different
vulnerability than CAN-2004-0968.

Comment 1 Josh Bressers 2005-02-15 13:38:29 EST

This issue should also affect RHEL2.1

Comment 2 Josh Bressers 2005-02-15 13:39:02 EST

It should also affect RHEL3

Comment 3 Jindrich Novy 2005-02-16 02:45:46 EST

Hi Josh,

I still don't understand how this affects mc since it's a glibc bug.

Any further info?

Comment 4 Josh Bressers 2005-02-16 06:27:48 EST

Sorry, wrong component.  I'm fixing it.

Comment 5 Josh Bressers 2005-02-16 14:26:13 EST

It seems this issue only affects RHEL2.1.

Comment 6 Jakub Jelinek 2005-03-01 07:20:25 EST

And for RHEL2.1 it should be fixed in glibc-2.2.4-32.19.
