Red Hat Product Errata RHSA-2005:564 0 normal SHIPPED_LIVE Important: php security update 2005-07-07 04:00:00 UTC

Description Josh Bressers 2005-05-27 15:32:03 UTC 
Race condition in shtool 2.0.1 and earlier allows local users to
create or modify arbitrary files via a symlink attack on the
.shtool.$$ temporary file.

openldap contains shtool in its source.
Comment 1 Joe Orton 2005-05-27 15:43:58 UTC 
Note that this issue can only be triggered when:

a) rebuilding the PHP source RPM
b) building a third-party PHP module

Proposing for inclusion in U2.

*** Bug 158997 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. ***
Comment 3 Josh Bressers 2005-05-27 16:58:47 UTC 
Yes, we'll just include this in either U2 or our next security update.  No need
to roll new packages just for this.
