From: Linux Mandrake Security Team <security@linux-mandrake.com> Subject: MDKSA-2001:047-1 - pine update Date: 15 May 2001 21:03:18 -0600 ______________________________________________________________________ Linux-Mandrake Security Update Advisory ______________________________________________________________________ Package name: pine Date: May 15th, 2001 Original Advisory Date: May 7th, 2001 Advisory ID: MDKSA-2001:047-1 Affected versions: 7.1, 7.2, 8.0, Corporate Server 1.0.1 ______________________________________________________________________ Problem Description: Versions of the Pine email client prior to 4.33 have various temporary file creation problems, as does the pico editor. These issues allow any user with local system access to cause any files owned by any other user, including root, to potentially be overwritten if the conditions were right. Update: The packages for 7.1 and Corporate Server did not properly update the menu entries. These updated packages update the menu entries. ______________________________________________________________________ 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 Linux-Mandrake 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 Linux-Mandrake 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.
