SuSE 11 Security Update : glib2 (SAT Patch Number 1831)

medium Nessus Plugin ID 50911

Language:

Synopsis

The remote SuSE 11 host is missing one or more security updates.

Description

When copying symbolic links the g_file_copy function set the target of the link to mode 0777 therefore exposing potentially sensitive information or allowing other user to modify files they should not have access to (CVE-2009-3289). This has been fixed.

This update also fixes a problem where glib2 couldn't access remote URLs when run outside of a GNOME session.

Solution

Apply SAT patch number 1831.
