Mandrake Linux Security Advisory : openldap (MDKSA-2000:003)

low Nessus Plugin ID 61801

Language:

Synopsis

The remote Mandrake Linux host is missing a security update.

Description

OpenLDAP follows symbolic links when creating files. The default location for these files is /usr/tmp, which is a symlink to /tmp, which in turn is a world-writable directory. Local users can destroy the contents of any file on any mounted filesystem.

Solution

Update the affected openldap package.
