Red Hat Security Advisory Synopsis: Updated nedit packages available Advisory ID: RHSA-2001:061-02 Issue date: 2001-04-27 Updated on: 2001-05-08 Product: Red Hat Powertools Keywords: nedit symlink tempfile temporary file Cross references: Obsoletes: --------------------------------------------------------------------- 1. Topic: Updated nedit packages fixing a security problem are available. 2. Relevant releases/architectures: Red Hat Powertools 5.2 - alpha, i386, sparc Red Hat Powertools 6.2 - alpha, i386, sparc Red Hat Powertools 7.0 - alpha, i386 Red Hat Powertools 7.1 - i386 3. Problem description: nedit creates temporary files in an insecure fashion. This version has been patched to use mkstemp(). 4. Solution: Before applying this update, make sure all previously released errata relevant to your system have been applied. To update all RPMs for your particular architecture, run: rpm -Fvh [filenames] where [filenames] is a list of the RPMs you wish to upgrade. Only those RPMs which are currently installed will be updated. Those RPMs which are not installed but included in the list will not be updated. Note that you can also use wildcards (*.rpm) if your current directory *only* contains the desired RPMs. Please note that this update is also available via Red Hat Network. Many people find this an easier way to apply updates. To use Red Hat Network, launch the Red Hat Update Agent with the following command: up2date This will start an interactive process that will result in the appropriate RPMs being upgraded on your system. 5.
