Linux-Mandrake Security Update Advisory
Package name:=09=09inn
Date:=09=09=09July 22nd, 2000
Advisory ID:=09=09MDKSA-2000:023
Affected versions:=096.0, 6.1, 7.0, 7.1
Problem Description:
A vulnerability exists when verifycancels is enabled in
/etc/news/inn.conf. This vulnerability could be used to gain root
access on any system with inn installed. This new version also does
not install inews as setgid news or rnews as setuid root. Many
other security paranoia fixes have been made as well.
Please verify these md5 checksums of the updates prior to
upgrading to ensure the integrity of the downloaded package. You
can do this by running the md5sum program on the downloaded package
by using “md5sum package.rpm”.

To upgrade automatically, use =AB MandrakeUpdate =BB.
If you want to upgrade manually, download the updated package
from one of our FTP server mirrors and uprade with “rpm -Uvh
package_name”.
You can download the updates directly from:
ftp://ftp.linux.tucows.com/pub/distributions/Mandrake/Mandrake/updates
ftp://ftp.free.fr/pub/Distributions_Linux/Mandrake/updates
Or try one of the other mirrors 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 Linux-Mandrake 7.1, look for it in “updates/7.1/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, so if you want an immediate upgrade, please use one of
the two above-listed mirrors.
