Mandrake Linux Security Update Advisory
______________________________________________________________________
Package name: rxvt
Date: June 20th, 2001
Advisory ID: MDKSA-2001:060
Affected versions: None
______________________________________________________________________
Problem Description:
Samuel Dralet discovered a vulnerability in the rxvt terminal emulator
recently, concerning a buffer overflow in the command.c file. This
overflow can be exploited to provide elevated privileges on the system
if rxvt is installed setgid. Because rxvt has never been installed
setgid on any Mandrake Linux system, Mandrake Linux is not vulnerable
to the problem.

Subject: MDKSA-2001:059 - webmin update
______________________________________________________________________
Mandrake Linux Security Update Advisory
______________________________________________________________________
Package name: webmin
Date: June 20th, 2001
Advisory ID: MDKSA-2001:059
Affected versions: 7.1, 7.2, 8.0, Corporate Server 1.0.1,
Single Network Firewall 7.2
______________________________________________________________________
Problem Description:
Recently, Caldera found that when webmin starts a system daemon from
the web frontend it does not clear its environment variables. Since
these variables contain the authorization of the administrator, any
daemon would also get these variables.

To upgrade automatically, use MandrakeUpdate.
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.

Subject: MDKSA-2001:058 - ispell update
______________________________________________________________________
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.

Mandrake Linux Security Update Advisory
______________________________________________________________________
Package name: proftpd
Date: June 20th, 2001
Advisory ID: MDKSA-2001:057
Affected versions: None
______________________________________________________________________
Problem Description:
CERT released an advisory regarding the incorrect management of buffers
in various FTP server that can lead to a remote intruder executing
arbitrary code on the FTP server. This incorrect management of buffers
is due to the return from the glob() function.
ProFTPD is not affected by this vulnerability on the Linux platform and
also because it uses the GNU glob() function, which is not vulnerable.
The minimum recommended version of ProFTPD, from the ProFTPD team, is
1.2.0rc3 due to security problems in older versions.
