Mandrake Linux Security Advisory : tripwire (MDKSA-2004:057-1)

high Nessus Plugin ID 14156

Synopsis

The remote Mandrake Linux host is missing a security update.

Description

Paul Herman discovered a format string vulnerability in tripwire that could allow a local user to execute arbitrary code with the rights of the user running tripwire (typically root). This vulnerability only exists when tripwire is generating an email report.

Update :

The packages previously released for Mandrakelinux 9.2 would segfault when doing a check due to compilation problems. The updated packages correct the problem.

Solution

Update the affected tripwire package.
