                Linux-Mandrake Security Update Advisory
________________________________________________________________________

Package name:           mgetty
Date:                   August 31st, 2000
Advisory ID:            MDKSA-2000:042

Affected versions:      6.0, 6.1, 7.0, 7.1
________________________________________________________________________

Problem Description:

 There is a problem in the mgetty package, which contains a number of
 tools for sending and receiving faxes.  The faxrunq tool uses a
 marker file in the /tmp directory, which is world-writable,  in an 
 insecure fashion.  This problem, if exploited, allows malicious users
 to overwrite files on the system via a symlink attack which are owned
 by the user that is invoking faxrunq.  All versions of mgetty prior to 
 1.1.22 are  vulnerable.
