Mandriva Linux Security Advisory MDVSA-2009:062
http://www.mandriva.com/security/
_______________________________________________________________________
Package : shadow-utils
Date : March 2, 2009
Affected: 2008.0, 2008.1, 2009.0, Corporate 3.0, Corporate 4.0,
Multi Network Firewall 2.0
_______________________________________________________________________
Problem Description:
A security vulnerability has been identified and fixed in login
application from shadow-utils, which could allow local users in
the utmp group to overwrite arbitrary files via a symlink attack on
a temporary file referenced in a line (aka ut_line) field in a utmp
entry (CVE-2008-5394).
The updated packages have been patched to prevent this.
Note: Mandriva Linux is using login application from util-linux-ng
by default, and therefore is not affected by this issue on default
configuration.
