Red Hat, Inc. Red Hat Security Advisory
Synopsis: Updated pine packages available Advisory ID: RHSA-2001:042-02 Issue date: 2001-03-31 Updated on: 2001-04-09 Product: Red Hat Linux Keywords: pine pico temporary file tmpfile symlink vulnerability race

Obsoletes:
1. Topic:
Updated pine packages are now available for Red Hat Linux 7.0,
6.2, and 5.2. These new updated packages fix temporary file
creation issues in the pine mail client and the pico text editor
that comes with pine.
2. Relevant releases/architectures:
Red Hat Linux 5.2 – alpha, i386, sparc
Red Hat Linux 6.2 – alpha, i386, sparc
Red Hat Linux 7.0 – alpha, i386
3. Problem description:
Previous versions of the pine email client, and the pico editor
have had various temporary file creation issues that allow any user
with local system access, to cause files owned by anyone including
root to potentially be overwritten if the right set of conditions
are met.
4. Solution:
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 directly 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.
