Mandrakesoft Security Advisories MDKSA-2004:057-1 : tripwire

 

Updated tripwire packages fix format string vulnerability

July 6th, 2004

 

Paul Herman discovered a format string vulnerability in tripwire that could allow a local user to execute arbitrary code with the rights of the user running tripwire (typically root).This vulnerability only exists when tripwire is generating an email report.

 

Update:

 

The packages previously released for Mandrakelinux 9.2 would segfault when doing a check due to compilation problems.The updated packages correct the problem.

 

 

The released versions of Mandrake GNU/Linux affected are:

  • 9.2
