:Mandrake Linux Advisory: 24mdk Kernel Update Unsafe
Mandrake Linux Advisory: 24mdk Kernel Update Unsafe
Jul 24, 2003, 01 :46 UTC (3 Talkback[s]) (4988 reads)

This is an urgent message for all 9.1 users. Please back out of the 24mdk kernel update and downgrade to 18mdk or 13mdk as soon as you are able. A problem exists in all kernels (except kernel-secure) where newly created files are created mode 0666 (world writeable) on any filesystem other than XFS, including remote NFS mounts.

We are working hard to attempt to get this problem corrected with new kernels available in the next 24-48hrs.

Thank you.
