From security@linux-mandrake.com Thu Jun 21 00:09:40 2001 From: Linux Mandrake Security Team To: Linux Mandrake Security Announcements Cc: Linux Mandrake Security , Bugtraq , Linux Security List Date: Wed, 20 Jun 2001 14:16:34 -0600 Subject: MDKSA-2001:058 - ispell update [The following text is in the "iso-8859-1" character set] [Your display is set for the "US-ASCII" character set] [Some characters may be displayed incorrectly] -----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 ________________________________________________________________________ Mandrake Linux Security Update Advisory ________________________________________________________________________ Package name: ispell Date: June 20th, 2001 Advisory ID: MDKSA-2001:058 Affected versions: 7.1, 7.2, 8.0, Corporate Server 1.0.1 ________________________________________________________________________ Problem Description: The ispell program uses mktemp() to open temporary files. This makes it vulnerable to symlink attacks. The program now has a patch from OpenBSD applied that uses mkstemp() instead, and switches gets() to fgets() for dealing with user input. ________________________________________________________________________ References: ________________________________________________________________________ Please verify the update prior to upgrading to ensure the integrity of the downloaded package. You can do this with the command: rpm --checksig package.rpm You can get the GPG public key of the Mandrake Linux Security Team at http://www.linux-mandrake.com/en/security/RPM-GPG-KEYS If you use MandrakeUpdate, the verification of md5 checksum and GPG signature is performed automatically for you.

If you want to upgrade manually, download the updated package from one of our FTP server mirrors and upgrade with "rpm -Fvh *.rpm". You can download the updates directly from one of the mirror sites listed at: http://www.linux-mandrake.com/en/ftp.php3. Updated packages are available in the "updates/[ver]/RPMS/" directory. For example, if you are looking for an updated RPM package for Mandrake Linux 8.0, look for it in "updates/8.0/RPMS/". Updated source RPMs are available as well, but you generally do not need to download them. Please be aware that sometimes it takes the mirrors a few hours to update.
